NEC Nijmegen’s hopes of qualifying third in the 2025-26 Eredivisie depend on winning against the Go Ahead Eagles in the final matchday on Sunday. This match between the 4th-placed NEC and the 12th-placed Go Ahead could decide who finishes between third and fifth. The visitors have enjoyed playing against NEC lately, which is why our prediction is a draw or an away win.
With 56 points (W15, D11, L7), NEC are one point above fifth and currently occupy the Europa League qualifying spot. Go Ahead have 38 points (W8, D14, L11) and can at best finish 11th.
NEC lost 2-1 away at Groningen, leaving their fate of finishing third to the result of this match. That was their first defeat since March, but with just one win from their last six games (D4, L1), NEC’s form hasn’t been compelling.
Even at home, NEC have failed to win five of their last six league matches (W1, D3, L2), which makes the result of this match anything but certain.
Go Ahead lost 4-1 at home to PSV last weekend, ending a four-game unbeaten run (W1, D3) in the league. They haven’t lost consecutive league games since mid-February, so the visitors are expected to put up a fight. They have also been competitive across their last seven league trips (W1, D4, L2), promising an intense battle here.

The reverse fixture ended in a 1-1 draw, and the Go Ahead Eagles have somehow managed to bring their best to this fixture. That’s why our NEC Nijmegen vs Go Ahead Eagles prediction is draw or Go Ahead Eagles.
