NEC Nijmegen are playing at home and have been getting mixed results lately, with a couple of wins and draws in their recent games. Heerenveen, on the other hand, are struggling for form, having lost most of their recent matches. When these two teams have met recently, the games have often been close, but Heerenveen has had the better of the results over the last few seasons.

Based on the current form of both sides, with NEC being more consistent at home and Heerenveen finding wins hard to come by, NEC Nijmegen are the more likely team to win this match.
