NEC Nijmegen head into this clash full of confidence after a superb 3-1 win over AZ Alkmaar, extending their unbeaten run to five matches. As Heracles struggle on the travels, we predict a 3-1 home win. With an impressive 80% win rate overall and a striking 2.80 goals scored per game, NEC have been one of the Eredivisie’s most dangerous attacking sides in recent weeks. Remarkably, BTTS has landed in 100% of their games this season, as they combine fluid attack with defensive vulnerabilities, conceding 1.60 goals per match.
Heracles also come into this fixture after a morale-boosting 2-1 win over Fortuna Sittard, but their away form remains troubling. They average only 0.40 points per away match, score 1.60 goals, but concede a worrying 2.60. Injuries to Bruns, Reine-Adelaide, and Scheperman further limit their options. Historically, NEC have the edge with 10 wins from 19 H2H meetings.
Given NEC's excellent form, 80% win rate, and better xG momentum, Home Win should definitely be considered, alongside Over 2.5 goals and BTTS as both sides average over 3.5 total goals per match.
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Saturday 7 February 2026 at 15:30.
