Matchup Fortuna Sittard VS NEC Nijmegen
NEC hold the broader profile
The overall balance favours NEC Nijmegen, whose victories include clear margins as well as close decisions. NEC won 4–1 at home against Fortuna Sittard on 19 January 2025, and also prevailed 3–0 away on 31 August 2024. Those outcomes give NEC the stronger historical position, although the matchup has not followed a single direction whenever the teams have met.
Fortuna have made the contest turn
Fortuna Sittard answered with two 3–2 league wins: at home on 31 August 2025 and away at NEC on 28 February 2026. A 1–1 draw at Fortuna on 2 April 2024 adds a measured resistance point, showing how quickly the margin can narrow. These results do not erase NEC’s broader advantage, but they make the fixture a genuine test of response and control. Future encounters will ask whether Fortuna can protect another slender edge, or whether NEC can reassert its stronger profile without conceding the contest’s competitive tension.
