  • Competition: Eredivisie
  • Date: Friday, 11th April 2025
  • Kickoff: 19:00 UK / 20:00 CEST
  • Venue: Goffertstadion (Nijmegen)

NEC Nijmegen are in an interesting spot. They are four points behind the Conference playoff zone and six points ahead of the relegation playoff position. The previous few months weren't good for NEC Nijmegen, as they won only one of the last nine matches. In the previous game, the team from Gofferstadion lost 2-0 on the road vs Sparta Rotterdam. The teams were pretty even for most of the match, and it seems a big injustice for NEC Nijmegen to stay empty-handed. 

RKC Waalwijk are in big problems. They are currently in the drop zone with five points fewer than the relegation playoff position. RKC Waalwijk's recent form doesn't give much optimism, either, as they have won only two points in the previous six Eredivisie rounds. Last weekend, RKC Waalwijk played 0-0 at home against Heracles. The home side finished with xG of 1.60, while the guests had 0.95, so RKC probably deserved all three points in that match. 

NEC Nijmegen vs RKC Waalwijk pick: Under 2.5 goals

NEC Nijmegen scored six goals in the last six matches. On the other hand, RKC Waalwijk scored only three goals during the same span. Both these teams have had problems in the attack lately, so under 2.5 goals is the best bet for this tie.

NEC Nijmegen team news

NEC Nijmegen's Vito van Crooij got a red card in the previous league round, so he will not play on Friday against RKC Waalwijk. Van Crooij scored nine goals in 21 Eredivisie ties this season, and his absence will make scoring goals even harder. Besides van Crooij, NEC Nijmegen will also be without Koki Ogawa and Ivan Marquez.
