NEC Nijmegen v Go Ahead Eagles: home form test meets free-scoring start | OneFootball

NEC Nijmegen host Go Ahead Eagles in the Eredivisie on Sunday, 20 September 2026 at Goffertstadion, with 10th facing 9th as both look to sharpen early-season pushes in the mid-table pack.

NEC Nijmegen won the last meeting 2-1 in May. At home they have taken just one point this term, while Go Ahead Eagles have earned only two away points.

Recent form is mixed. Dick Schreuder's side have one win, one draw and three defeats across their last five matches. The Supereagles are unbeaten in four of their last five, drawing three and scoring freely.

Joseph Oosting is without goalkeeper Nick Marsman and defenders Gerrit Nauber and Pim Saathof through injury, trimming options at the back for the Supereagles.

NEC Nijmegen tend to control the ball, averaging 63% possession with 82.53% passing accuracy, and they deliver crosses at a 25.00% success rate, yet they have not kept a clean sheet. Tjaronn Chery has three league goals. The Supereagles have struck 15 goals with 52.05% shooting accuracy and 53% possession. Soren Tengstedt has five league goals and Victor Edvardsen three, giving Oosting's attack multiple routes.

A win would move NEC Nijmegen to 10 points and could nudge them into the top half. Victory for the Supereagles would take them to 12 points and keep them in touch with the early qualification play-off places.
