Sparta Rotterdam vs Nijmegen Prediction and Betting Tips 15 February 2026

Sparta Rotterdam face NEC Nijmegen in an Eredivisie encounter with both teams in strong form. NEC, though, are more of a team than Sparta and we predict a 2-1 away win. The Rotterdammers drew 2-2 at Fortuna Sittard last weekend and will be without forward Vito van Crooij, though their squad remains largely intact. Sparta average 2.20 points per game, scoring 1.90 goals per match, with home form slightly weaker than away (1.80 PPG at home vs 2.60 away). Clean sheets have occurred in 50% of games, while BTTS has hit 40%, showing a balanced but attack-minded approach.

NEC Nijmegen are in scintillating form, winning their last 5 matches, including a 4-1 thrashing of Heracles, and maintain 2.60 PPG. Dick Schreuder's men score an impressive 4 goals per game on average, with BTTS in 90% of matches, highlighting a potent attack but occasional defensive vulnerability. Away form is strong (2.67 PPG), making them a serious threat on the road.

Given NEC's splendid form and goal-scoring potential, we believe that there is big value in betting on Away Win, alongside Over 1.5 (73% H2H) and NEC Over 1.5.

This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Sunday 15 February 2026 at 15:45.
