Nijmegen vs Heracles Prediction & Match Preview

NEC Nijmegen will be looking to bounce back from their 2-0 defeat against reigning champions PSV Eindhoven when they host Heracles Almelo this Saturday. The home side currently sit 9th in the Eredivisie table, while their visitors are down in 16th position, still searching for their first win of the new campaign.

NEC’s recent form has been a bit mixed, with two wins and two losses in their last four matches. They’ll be hoping for a better result on home turf, where they’ve picked up 4 points from 3 games so far. Heracles, on the other hand, are winless in 5 league outings and will be desperate to kickstart their season with an upset victory.

The head-to-head record makes for interesting reading – NEC have won just 1 of the last 7 meetings between these two sides, losing 5 times. Their most recent encounter last season ended in a 3-1 win for Heracles, so the visitors will take some confidence from that.

One to watch for NEC could be Koki Ogawa. The Japanese striker has netted 4 goals already this term and will be keen to add to his tally against a Heracles defence that has struggled at times. For the visitors, keep an eye on midfielder Mario Engels, who has chipped in with a goal and an assist so far.

Key Stats Nijmegen vs Heracles

  • NEC have won 4, lost 6 of their last 10 league games
  • Heracles have 6 defeats and 4 draws in their previous 10 matches
  • NEC have averaged 1.5 goals scored and 1.4 conceded per game
  • Heracles have managed just 0.3 goals per game on average

Main Prediction: Nijmegen vs Heracles

This one could go either way, but I fancy NEC Nijmegen to edge it at home. They’ve shown they can be a tough nut to crack on their own patch, and with Ogawa in good form, I think they’ll have just enough to see off a Heracles side still finding their feet. NEC Nijmegen 2-1 Heracles Almelo.
