Nijmegen vs Excelsior Prediction and Betting Tips 8 September 2026

An interesting Eredivisie encounter awaits us at Gofferstadion, with Nijmegen hoping to respond strongly after a 3-1 defeat to Feyenoord. Despite dominating possession with 62%, they managed only 0.95 xG, highlighting their struggles to turn control into clear-cut chances. Tyrone Chery and Dusan Tadic will be key figures for the hosts, while talented forward Ayodele Thomas could earn a starting berth after impressing from the bench.

Excelsior, meanwhile, travel to Nijmegen in excellent spirits after securing back-to-back victories over Sparta Rotterdam (2-1) and Willem II (3-0). Their away form has been particularly impressive, with an 80% win rate across their last 10 matches, while they average 3.00 goals scored per game on the road. Nijmegen have won only 33% of their last 10 home fixtures and concede 2.00 goals per game there. The hosts have also failed to keep a clean sheet in any of those matches.

Nijmegen’s home games average 3.33 goals and given Excelsior's attacking potential, we are tempted to bet on Over 2.5 goals, alongside BTTS and Excelsior or Draw (better form).

This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Tuesday 8 September 2026 at 17:45.
