NAC Breda vs SC Heerenveen

Rat Verlegh Stadion
S. van der Eijk
2025/2026
Match Preview
Sunday's visit to the Rat Verlegh Stadion could confirm the worst for NAC Breda. Six points adrift of safety with only two games remaining, Carl Hoefkens' side must win or face the drop. For Heerenveen, victory would inch them closer to European football for the first time since 2014-15.
The form makes grim reading for the hosts — winless in eight league matches and scoreless in their last two outings. Leading scorer Mohamed Nassoh is suspended, leaving Lewis Holtby and André Ayew to carry the attack. Heerenveen arrive with ten goals in their last five games, spearheaded by Jacob Trenskow (12 league goals), though the visitors also travel without five injured players and the suspended Joris van Overeem.
The two sides met in a wild 3-3 draw earlier this season, but this rematch feels very different. With NAC's attack misfiring and Heerenveen's confidence sky-high, the visitors look the clear bet. Our prediction: 1-2
