De Goffert station will be the centre of attention when NEC Nijmegen take on Telstar in a game with European ambition at one end and survival pressure at the other. As Telstar continue to struggle defensively, our prediction leans toward a 3-1 home win. NEC are aiming to return to winning ways after a 1-1 draw with Twente, and they remain firmly in the Champions League race. The return of defender Ahmetcan Kaplan from suspension is a major boost for a side averaging 1.60 points per game across their last 10 matches.
Telstar, meanwhile, arrive in good spirits after a 4-1 win over Sparta Rotterdam, a result that lifted their survival hopes. They average 1.30 points per game in recent form and score 1.80 goals per match, but defensive issues remain with 1.70 conceded on average. Their away record is still a concern, however, with just 0.60 points per game on the road.
Considering Nijmegen's stronger squad and H2H advantage, Home Win should definitely be considered, alongside NEC Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (both teams involved in high-scoring games).
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Saturday 2 May 2026 at 20:00.
