In a closely contested Dutch Eredivisie match held on May 3, 2025, NEC Nijmegen and Willem II played to a 1-1 draw at the Goffertstadion. The AI predicted a win for NEC Nijmegen (50.5% probability), but the game's outcome deviated from the prediction. The match saw Willem II take an early lead in the 1st minute with an own goal by Calvin Verdonk. NEC Nijmegen, employing a 4-2-3-1 formation, struggled to convert their chances, despite registering 21 total shots compared to Willem II's 10. Kento Shiogai finally equalized for NEC in the 83rd minute.
The game was relatively balanced in terms of possession, with NEC Nijmegen holding a slight edge at 50.1%. Both teams committed a fair number of fouls, with NEC committing 15 and Willem II 9, each earning two yellow cards. A late red card for Willem II's Raffael Behounek in the 90+7 minute added late-game drama, but NEC couldn't capitalize on the advantage. The goalkeepers were kept busy, each making 3 saves.
NEC Nijmegen's recent form has been inconsistent, with two losses, two wins, and a draw in their last five matches. Their next game against Ajax Amsterdam, who have a stronger team rate (0.828 vs. 0.563), will be a significant challenge, especially considering Ajax's recent mixed results. Willem II's form is poor, suffering five consecutive losses. Their upcoming match against Heracles Almelo, a team with a slightly better team rate (0.539 vs. 0.427) and a history of tightly contested matches against Willem II, presents an opportunity for them to turn things around.
Looking at previous encounters, the head-to-head record between NEC Nijmegen and Willem II has been fairly even. NEC Nijmegen's previous games showed an inability to hold the lead, while Willem II are struggling to score and maintain defensive solidity. In the last five games between NEC Nijmegen and Ajax Amsterdam, Ajax won three, and two ended in a draw. Meanwhile, in the last five head-to-head matches between Willem II and Heracles Almelo, all games were close, resulting in three draws and two wins for Willem II.
