Nijmegen vs FC Volendam prediction: NETHERLANDS: Eredivisie betting tips on match 2023-02-25 20:00.
NEC Nijmegen had to travel to Rotterdam for the fourth time in a few months last weekend, but unlike the three previous visits, they came out on top with a 3-0 win against Excelsior and are now in a fairly safe mid-table position, ten points ahead of the promotion/relegation play-off spot going into this round. The returning Anthony Musaba showed his best side as a substitute in the Van Donge & De Roo Stadium and produced a brilliant goal.
Rogier Meijer’s asset may also get the chance to show off his skills as a substitute this weekend, for the NEC boss can also call on Bart van Rooij this weekend and has almost a full complement of forwards to choose from. His side are undefeated at home since losing their opening game to FC Twente (0-1), but with just two victories from those ten matches (D8) it has hardly been a profitable stretch.
FC Volendam continue to triumph after their transformation during the winter break. Last weekend’s 2-0 win over Vitesse means that the club has now collected more than twice as many points in 2023 as they did in 2022 (14 to six). 33yo forward Daryl van Mieghem earned his first start for the club this year and rewarded the confidence of his manager Wim Jonk with a brace.
There remain a lot of problems between the staff and the board at Volendam, but there has been little evidence of that on-field as they continue to hold the relegation zone at bay, albeit by only a few points. Wim Jonk will also have 20-year-old goalkeeper Filip Stankovic available today and the Serbian will have to assist his team achieve a better result than they typically have in recent years. The side from Nijmegen have won ten of the 11 most recent duels, scoring at least three goals in six of the last seven encounters.
Players to watch: NEC’s Elayis Tavsan has scored in each of his last three clashes with Volendam, whilst Robert Mühren has a tally of three goals from his last five matches against NEC.
Hot stat: All but one of NEC’s last 11 home games have seen both teams score on the day.
