NEC Nijmegen vs Utrecht: the head-to-head
The NEC Nijmegen-Utrecht rivalry, chronicled since 2015, is a tale of uneven fortunes. Utrecht’s eight victories outstrip NEC’s three, with three draws balancing the scoreline. Across 14 encounters, 31 goals have been scored, averaging 2.21 per game, a figure that sits comfortably between the over-1.5 and over-2.5 thresholds: 57% of matches have seen at least two goals, while 50% have produced three or more. Both sides have found the net together in just 36% of meetings. The latest clash, on 11 February 2026, finished 1-3 in favour of Utrecht, with NEC at home. NEC’s 11 goals versus Utrecht’s 20 reflect a clear goal disparity. Home advantage has been modest: NEC’s seven home games yielded two wins, one draw, and four losses, whereas away they managed a single win, two draws, and four defeats. The next fixture is set for 8 November 2026.
