NEC Nijmegen host FC Volendam in an Eredivisie clash after stunning PSV 3-2 in the Dutch Cup semifinals. Given Volendam's struggle on the road, our prediction firmly points toward a 3-1 home win. Nijmegen are in solid form, winning three of their last five league matches, averaging 3.4 goals per game with 2 scored and 1.4 conceded. The hosts have scored in every game recently and both teams have scored in 90% of their matches, highlighting their attacking style.
Volendam, on the other hand, head into the match following a 3-2 win over Groningen, but both Pauwels and Kuwas are doubts. Their away form is patchy, earning only 1 point per game while scoring 0.67 goals on average and conceding 1.17. At home, they are much stronger, but this will be a tough test at Nijmegen.
H2H history heavily favors Nijmegen, who have won 14 of 16 encounters. Matches are often high-scoring, with 69% going over 2.5 goals and 56% over 3.5 goals. Given NEC Nijmegen's dominant H2H and current form, our prediction firmly points toward Home Win, alongside Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (high-scoring trend).
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Sunday 8 March 2026 at 19:00.
