Stats for this game
Matchup Feyenoord VS NEC Nijmegen
Feyenoord carry the wider edge
Feyenoord’s broader platform is supported by a 3–1 away win at NEC Nijmegen on 5 September 2026. The draw in Nijmegen on 12 April 2026 and a 0–0 stalemate in Rotterdam on 1 March 2025 show that the stronger side can be held to a narrow outcome. Even so, Feyenoord’s position remains the clearer direction when the clubs are viewed across both grounds.
NEC have shown they can reverse it
NEC Nijmegen’s 4–2 victory at Feyenoord on 23 November 2025 is the strongest counterweight among the dated meetings. It proves that NEC can turn an expected hierarchy on its head, while the draws show another way to deny separation. Future encounters will ask whether Feyenoord can keep control after that reversal and whether NEC can reproduce the pressure needed to challenge the wider balance. That mix of reversal and resistance keeps the hierarchy open to another test.
