FC Volendam vs Nijmegen Prediction: Form, Odds & Tactical Preview

Football fans, get ready for an intriguing Eredivisie fixture as we dive into the FC Volendam vs Nijmegen prediction for December 7, 2025. With both teams bringing their unique strengths and recent surprises to the table, this match at Kras Stadion promises plenty of talking points for sports betting enthusiasts and casual followers alike. Let’s break down the head to head stats, tactics, and betting odds before we reveal our AI-backed predictions.

Team Form and Tactical Insights

NEC Nijmegen, currently sitting 3rd in the Eredivisie, have been on a roll this season. With 24 points from 13 games and a positive goal difference, Nijmegen’s recent form is impressive—three straight wins, each by at least two goals. Their attacking duo, Vito van Crooij and Kōki Ogawa, have both netted nine times, making them a real threat up front. Under Dick Schreuder, Nijmegen’s 3-4-2-1 formation morphs into a dynamic 3-1-5-1 during build-up, allowing them to dominate possession (averaging 56%) and create plenty of chances from the wings.

FC Volendam, meanwhile, are 15th in the table with 14 points from 14 matches. While their away form leaves much to be desired, their home record is a different story: three wins, three draws, and just one loss at Kras Stadion. Rick Kruys, Volendam’s manager, has focused on building a compact and resilient side, especially at home. With experienced strikers like Henk Veerman and Robert Mühren, Volendam can never be counted out—especially with an 80% unbeaten run in their last 15 Eredivisie home games.

Key Players and Squad News

  • FC Volendam: Henk Veerman leads the scoring charts with 4 goals, while Robin van Cruijsen has been the creative spark, crafting the most big chances. Injuries to Anthony Descotte and Xavier Mbuyamba could affect their depth, and Yannick Leliendal is suspended.
  • NEC Nijmegen: Despite injuries to Bram Nuytinck and Jetro Willems, Nijmegen’s squad depth shines through, with Jasper Cillessen and Dirk Proper providing stability. No current suspensions are reported for the away side.

Head to Head and Recent Results

The head to head record heavily favors Nijmegen: five wins and a draw in their last six meetings, including a 5-2 victory in March 2024. Volendam have struggled in this fixture, conceding at least two goals in 64% of their last 11 encounters. However, both teams have shown they can spring surprises—Volendam recently held Twente to a 1-1 draw as big underdogs, while Nijmegen stunned Feyenoord 4-2 away.

FC Volendam vs Nijmegen Prediction: Odds, Tips & Final Score

Now, let’s get into the numbers that matter for sports betting fans. The current betting odds are:

  • Home win: 3.85
  • Draw: 4.12
  • Away win: 1.83

Our best tip? The home team will score (HS), with a trust level of 6.4/10 and odds of 1.29. The 1x2 prediction leans towards an away win (2), with a trust of 4.3 and odds of 1.87. For those who like a bit of goalmouth action, the AI predicts over 2.5 goals (confidence 6.0, odds 1.5), with an expected final score of 2:3 in favor of Nijmegen.

  • Possession: Volendam 43%, Nijmegen 57%
  • Shots: Volendam 10 (3 on target), Nijmegen 15 (6 on target)
  • Corners: Volendam 3, Nijmegen 5
  • Yellow cards: 1 each

With Nijmegen’s attacking firepower and Volendam’s home resilience, expect an open game with plenty of chances. The away team’s squad value (€37.85m vs Volendam’s €11.35m) and recent form tip the scales, but don’t be shocked if Volendam’s experienced strikers make life difficult for the visitors.

To sum up our FC Volendam vs Nijmegen prediction: expect goals, attacking football, and a likely Nijmegen victory—but with enough unpredictability to keep your sports betting slip interesting. Whether you’re here for the stats, the stories, or the odds, this Eredivisie fixture should deliver entertainment in spades.
