NEC Nijmegen - Go Ahead Eagles
Last updated: Today, at NEC Nijmegen and Go Ahead Eagles look for stability at Stadion De Goffert
Can NEC Nijmegen arrest their recent slide when they host Go Ahead Eagles at Stadion De Goffert on 20 September 2026 for matchday 7 of the Eredivisie? The hosts are currently navigating a difficult run, having suffered heavy defeats against Juventus and Cambuur in their last two outings. The expected XI, anchored by goalkeeper Gonzalo Crettaz and midfield playmaker Tjaronn Chery, will need to find the cohesion that briefly surfaced during their August win over PEC Zwolle to regain their footing in the league table.
Go Ahead Eagles arrive with a more mixed record, having drawn their last two matches against FC Groningen and FC Utrecht. Their attacking intent, led by Stefan Ingi Sigurdarson and Victor Edvardsen, has proven dangerous, though their defensive structure has been tested frequently this season. With both teams eager to move past recent inconsistencies, this Eredivisie encounter promises a tactical battle between NEC's desire for a reset and the visitors' persistent, high-scoring approach.
