In-form Nijmegen aim to overtake Ajax in third place in the Eredivisie standings, but with the Amsterdammers improving their game of late, our prediction firmly points toward a 2-2 draw. NEC are enjoying a season to remember, with the team eyeing a spot in European competitions. As they have been averaging 2.67 goals per game at home of late, a high-scoring affair is on the horizon at Gofferstadion. All El Kachati, Entius, and Nuytinck are sidelined with injuries, but the trio was not missed at all in recent league matches.
Fred Grim’s troops, on the other hand, did well to beat their bitter rivals Feyenoord 2-0 at the weekend to extend their winning run in Eredivisie to three games. With Ajax scoring 3.6 goals per game in the last five outings in all competitions, a high-scoring affair is on the cards in Nijmegen. The good news for the visiting team is that important defender Youri Baas is back from suspension.
Given the attacking potentials of both sides, we believe that there is big value in betting on Over 2.5 goals (79% H2H), with additional value on BTTS (58%) and Over 3.5 goals (53%).
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Saturday 20 December 2025 at 19:00.
