NEC Nijmegen host Fortuna Sittard in what promises to be another high-scoring Eredivisie matchup, with 3-1 our predicted outcome. Nijmegen come into this clash unbeaten in their last five, collecting 2.10 points per game overall and scoring 2.10 goals per match. They are expected to field the same XI that drew 1-1 with Ajax, as the team has no fresh injury concerns, maintaining strong continuity and rhythm. Their home matches average 3.40 goals, with BTTS landing in 80% of outings.
Fortuna Sittard also tend to produce open, chaotic games, with their fixtures averaging 3.80 goals overall. Even with Bayram and Sinkgraven still sidelined, they were barely missed in a recent 2-1 win over Excelsior. Defensively, however, Fortuna struggle: they concede 2.10 goals per match and have 0 clean sheets all season, while their xGA stands at a high 1.94.
Historically, Nijmegen dominate this duel (10 wins from 17), and with Sittard losing three of their last four away games, home advantage could again prove decisive. Therefore, Home Win is our main betting tip, alongside BTTS (Both sides have BTTS rates of 80–100%), and Over 2.5 Goals (consistent high-scoring trends and weak defences).
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Saturday 28 February 2026 at 20:00.
