Preview
NEC and Heracles face at Sportpark De Weeren, in a match for the 22th round of the Eredivisie. In the last league head‑to‑head, played in 16‑08‑2025, NEC Nijmegen got an away win by (1‑4). The recent head‑to‑head record favours the home team, since they have a record of 4 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in the last 7 matches. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, since Heracles presents significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis NEC

The home team is currently in the 3rd position of the league, with 38 points won, after 11 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against PEC Zwolle, by (2‑1). In the last match, they won in an away match against AZ, by (1‑3). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 37 goals scored and 27 conceded; against 9 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 37 goals scored and 21 conceded. In their last match, for the KNVB Beker, they got a home win against FC Volendam by (1‑0). In the last 9 home league matches NEC has a record of 6 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 20 points out of 27 possible.

They haven’t lost any of the last 6 home matches for this competition. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 8 of the last 9 for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 9 of their 20 matches for this competition, but have been able to turn the score around in 3.

NEC are enjoying a clear upswing, improving week by week in the Eredivisie. Even with the top spot out of reach, their focus is on fighting strongly for second place and maintaining a competitive rhythm. A convincing 3-1 win over AZ confirmed the team’s collective progress and boosted confidence. They have now won three in a row, adding to an unbeaten run that is starting to carry weight in the table. At home, the squad feel comfortable dictating play and controlling proceedings. Against Heracles, the mission is to maintain intensity and turn this good form into more valuable points.

Confirmed Lineup: Gonzalo Crettaz, Philippe Sandler, Ahmetcan Kaplan, Eli Dasa, Brayann Pereira, Kodai Sano, Darko Nejasmic, Tjaronn Chery, Başar Önal, Noé Lebreton, Bryan Linssen.
Coach: R. Meijer.

Analysis Heracles

The away team is currently in the 16th position of the league, with 17 points won, after 5 wins, 2 draws and 14 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Feyenoord, by (4‑2). In the last match, they won in a home match against Fortuna Sittard, by (2‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 2 draws and 10 losses in away matches, with 21 goals scored and 37 conceded; against 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 31 goals scored and 30 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Heracles has a record of 1 win, 1 draw and 8 losses, so they have won 4 points out of 30 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 1‑0 (6 out of 11 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 11 of the last 11 matches for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 21 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 15 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Heracles earned an important breather in the previous round after a performance full of effort. In a tense encounter, they were deadly at the right moment and benefited from a stroke of luck from their defender to hold on for a 2-1 win over Fortuna. The result temporarily eased the pressure, but their position in the table remains precarious. Inside the relegation zone, any mistake can be costly at this stage of the Eredivisie. Now playing away, the challenge steps up. Facing a NEC side in full ascent, the team will need to be extremely solid and competitive to return to the points.

Confirmed Lineup: Remko Pasveer, Mike te Wierik, Mimeirhel Benita, Damon Mirani, Sava-Arangel Cestic, Ivan Mesik, Djevencio van der Kust, Ajdin Hrustic, Walid Ould-Chikh, Naci Ünüvar, Lequincio Zeefuik.
Coach: E. Faber.
