Both teams are in spectacular form. Utrecht were on a 15-match unbeaten run recently, but it ended in a loss to Ajax two weeks ago. However, the hosts are still undefeated on home ground in their last nine matches, and they are also on a three-match winning streak at Galgenwaard Stadium. NEC Nijmegen, on the other side, kicked off a new year in great shape. They had just one defeat in 12 games, which were played in 2024 across all competitions. It’s worth mentioning that after 25 years, they have reached the KNVB Beker final.
Prediction: Utrecht 1:1 NEC
The last three H2H meetings between Utrecht and NEC Nijmegen at Galgenwaard Stadium saw less than 2.5 goals scored. Moreover, there have been fewer than 3 goals scored in total in each of Utrecht’s last 4 games. Everything indicates that we will see a low-scoring clash.
