Groningen vs NEC Nijmegen Prediction (10.05.2026)

NEC Nijmegen is only two rounds away from something really big, as they currently occupy third place in the standings and hold their fate in their own hands in the battle for participation in the Champions League. However, the upcoming visit to Groningen will certainly not be a formality, as the hosts still hold hopes for a top 9 finish and participation in the Conference League playoffs. Recently, however, Groningen's form has worsened, and the team has not won in three consecutive matches, with the last two even being losses.

At NEC Nijmegen, there is also a sense of pressure, as the last three league matches ended in draws. Nevertheless, the team continues to be difficult to overcome and has not suffered a loss in seven consecutive matches. Their performance in away games is particularly impressive, as they remain unbeaten in their last ten visits. This series includes victories against serious opponents like PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord.

Groningen enters the match with uncertainty and a series of poor results, while NEC Nijmegen shows stability and confidence, especially in away games. The guests also have a much more serious incentive, as the battle for third place remains completely open. This makes me believe that NEC will find a way to win this important match.
