Almere City - NEC Nijmegen

Several factors contribute to this forecast, including both teams’ recent form, defensive vulnerabilities, and head-to-head history. NEC, currently mid-table in the Eredivisie, has shown more consistency than Almere City, which ranks near the bottom and has struggled to gain momentum this season. Almere’s defensive record is a primary concern, with the team conceding an average of 1.87 goals per game and a significant 75% loss rate in recent home fixtures.
