Heerenveen vs NEC Nijmegen: Prediction and odds on the Match on 27 April 2025

Heerenveen will welcome NEC Nijmegen to the Abe Lenstra Stadion on Sunday, April 27, 2025. The hosts are unbeaten in 14 of their 15 home games this season. Can they continue this run? Below, you will find the team news, possible starting lineup, head-to-head statistics, interesting facts, betting tips, and odds.

Heerenveen: form and statistics

Heerenveen bounced back to winning ways with a 2-1 comeback win over Almere City. They have remained unbeaten in three of their last six games, but their home record is great, having lost just once in their 15 home games so far this season. The Super Frisians will need to work on their defense going forward, as they have conceded in their last 17 games in all competitions. They sit 8th on the table with 37 points in 30 games, having scored 38 goals and conceded 53. They sit in the last spot, hoping for a continental ticket, and will need to win all their remaining games of the season to have a chance of playing in Europe next season.

Heerenveen: Lineup

Robin Veldman will select his starting lineup without Mats Kohlert in this clash, after Kohlert was sent off in their last match against Almere City. Pawel Bochniewicz, Jordy de Wijs, and Mateja Milovanovic are ruled out of this game due to injuries. However, the gaffer will still field a strong 11 with the available players, and Ion Nicolaescu is expected to continue in his leadership role in the attack.

Goalkeeper – Andries Noppert

Defenders – Oliver Braude, Sam Kersten, Nikolai Hopland, Mats Köhlert

Midfielders – Marcus Linday, Luuk Brouwers, Alireza Jahanbakhsh, Levi Smans, Ilias Sebaoui

NEC Nijmegen: form and statistics

NEC Nijmegen returned to winning ways with a 2-1 win over Waalwijk in their last game, with Bryan Linssen's 90+2nd minute equaliser being the major difference in the game after Michiel Kramer’s 79th minute goal canceled Kodai Sano’s 46th minute opener. NEC are winless in eight of their last ten games and have managed two wins in their last ten games on the road in all competitions. They sit 12th on the table with 33 points in 29 games, having scored 42 goals and conceded 43.

NEC Nijmegen: Lineup

NEC Nijmegen will continue to be without Koki Ogawa and Ivan Marquez Alvarez in this game, and players such as Thomas Ouwejan, Bram Nuytinck, and Lefteris Lyratzis are in doubt for selection. However, Rogier Meijer will likely stick with Robin Roefs in goal, and the midfield trio of Dirk Proper, Sami Ouaissa, and Kodai Sano will provide support for both the attack and defence, creating balance in the team.

🔖 NEC Nijmegen possible starting lineup (4-3-3)

Goalkeeper – Robin Roefs

Defenders – Lefteris Lyratzis, Philippe Sandler, Bram Nuytinck, Calvin Verdonk

Midfielders – Dirk Proper, Sami Ouaissa, Kodai Sano

Attackers — Sontje Hansen, Kento Shiogai, Thomas Ouwejan.

❓Questionable: Thomas Ouwejan (injury), Bram Nuytinck (injury), Lefteris Lyratzis (injury).

Heerenveen vs NEC Nijmegen match prediction 27 April 2025

Heerenveen are one of the best teams at home this season, having lost just once at the Abe Lenstra Stadion. For me, this form is enough to face a side that is winless in eight of their last ten games. However, the visitors have always performed well whenever they face Heerenveen, which is why I expect them to get a consolation goal in the game.

Below are our predictions for this game. 

Our match prediction: Over 2.5 goals for a coefficient of 1.68 in the Betway bookmaker.

Our betting tip on the match: BTTS for a coefficient of 1.6 in the 1xBet bookmaker.

Our final betting tip on the match: Heerenveen to win for a coefficient of 1.95 in the Bet365 bookmaker.
