Prediction

  • Utrecht welcome NEC for an Eredivisie showdown on Friday evening. When the two sides last met in Eredivisie action, Utrecht came out on top 3-0 at Goffertstadion in September. Bart Ramselaar led the visitors with two goals, scoring in the seventh and 79th minute. Anastasios Douvikas was also on the scoresheet. Utrecht have gotten the better of NEC of late, and are unbeaten in their last four Eredivisie meetings. NEC are looking for their first league win in games between the two clubs since November 2015. Utrecht have outscored NEC 10-2 during this aforementioned unbeaten run.
  • Utrecht sit in seventh place on 42 points after 30 matches. Utrecht lost their last Eredivisie match 2-1 at De Kuip against Feyenoord, extending their winless streak to six matches. Ramselaar, Henk Veerman, and Douvikas have stood out for Utrecht this season. Ramselaar is the club's leading scorer with nine goals, followed by Veerman with eight and Douvikas with seven. On home soil this season, Utrecht have seven wins, five draws, and three losses in 15 Eredivisie contests. They are in the midst of a four-match home winless streak dating to February 20th against Vitesse. In their last six league matches, Utrecht have drawn three and lost three.
  • Last time out, NEC suffered a 1-0 loss to Ajax at Goffertstadion, leaving them in 10th place on 35 points with four matches remaining this season. Jonathan Okita, Ali Akman, and Elayis Tavsan have been NEC's best attacking threats, finding the target six, six, and five times, respectively. NEC have claimed seven wins, three draws, and five losses away from home this season in league matches. NEC have won one, drawn one and lost four in their last six Eredivisie fixtures.
