NEC Nijmegen continue to impress this season, climbing into third place after a convincing 4-1 win over Heracles. Given their excellent form, we predict that Dick Schreuder's men are going to record a 2-1 win over Utrecht. With no fresh injury concerns, momentum is firmly on NEC's side. Nijmegen’s attacking output has been outstanding — they average 4.00 goals per match, scoring at least twice in every recent outing. Their underlying metrics support this surge, with an overall xG of 1.80. They also come into this fixture on a run of five straight wins, collecting 2.60 points per game across that period.
Utrecht, on the other hand, arrive in far weaker form. Their narrow 1-0 defeat to Feyenoord was overshadowed by the dismissal of Miguel Rodriguez, who is now suspended — a major blow given he remains one of their most influential forwards. Utrecht’s away form is modest (1.00 PPG), but their home record is disastrous with five consecutive losses and an average of only 0.40 goals scored at home. Defensively, they concede 1.60 goals per match, and their xGA numbers remain concerning.
Considering NEC's better form, unbeaten run, and superior attacking numbers, punters worldwide can find value in betting on Home Win, alongside Nijmegen Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total as NEC average 4.00 goals per match and Utrecht concede regularly.
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Wednesday 11 February 2026 at 20:00.
