Volendam aim to recover from a 3-0 loss to PSV, but with NEC Nijmegen impressing in a 3-1 win over Sparta at the weekend, our prediction points toward a 3-2 away win. Volendam's home average of 1.80 goals scored and 80% BTTS rate highlights both their attacking intent and their defensive instability. With an expected goals of 1.51 at home, they tend to create enough to trouble most visiting sides, though their back line—conceding 1.50 expected goals against—remains the main concern. Rick Kruys has a full squad to choose from.
Nijmegen, meanwhile, arrive in excellent form, winning four of their last five and boasting an impressive 2.50 points per game on home turf and a respectable 1.33 away. Their matches are consistently high-scoring, with an average of 3.80 goals per game and an 80% BTTS rate overall. Defensively, they remain vulnerable, keeping just one clean sheet across their campaign, but their frontline—scoring 2+ goals in four of their last five—often compensates. With no fresh injury worries to report, Dick Schreuder is unlikely to make changes to that outplayed the Rotterdammers at the weekend.
The H2H record overwhelmingly favors NEC, who have won 12 of 14 (85%) previous meetings and given their fine display against Sparta Rotterdam, Away Win is our main betting tip. Additionally, Over 2.5 goals (71%) and Over 3.5 goals (57%) markets should also be considered.
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Sunday 7 December 2025 at 13:30.
