NAC Breda vs Utrecht Prediction and Betting Tips | December 14th 2025

NAC Breda will host Utrecht at the Rat Verlegh Stadion on Sunday in another round of the 2025-26 Eredivisie campaign. The home side have endured a poor season so far and face a significant task to turn their fortunes around in the second half of the campaign, as they sit second-from-bottom in the table, just one point above last-placed Telstar.

NAC have particularly struggled for results upon returning from the international break last month, a trend that continued in Rotterdam last weekend as they lost 1-0 to Sparta Rotterdam. A tepid first-half display saw NAC trail by a goal at the interval, and despite being much improved after the restart, they failed to convert their chances and ultimately came away empty-handed.

Utrecht have hit a difficult spell in recent fixtures, conceding in the closing 10 minutes to drop points in their 1-1 draw with Twente last time out in the league. They then welcomed Nottingham Forest to the Stadion Galgenwaard in Europa League action on Thursday, once again shipping a late goal, which resulted in a 2-1 defeat.

The visitors now sit seventh in the table with 22 points from 15 matches and will be looking to get their campaign back on track when they return to action this weekend.

NAC Breda vs Utrecht Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• Sunday's match will mark the 80th encounter between the two teams. NAC have won 29 of those fixtures while Utrecht have won two more, with the remaining 19 contests ending level.
• The visitors have won their last four league games in this fixture.
• The hosts are without a clean sheet in their last 14 games in this fixture.
• NAC have scored 15 goals in the Dutch top-flight this season. Only Excelsior (14) have managed fewer.

NAC Breda vs Utrecht Prediction

NAC have lost their last four matches consecutively and have won just one of their last 10 across all competitions. Despite their home advantage, they remain slight underdogs heading into the weekend clash, having secured just one victory in their last five fixtures at the Rat Verlegh Stadion and have work to do on Sunday.

Utreg, meanwhile, are winless in their last five outings and have secured just two victories in their last 10. They are without an away win since the start of September, but should still possess sufficient quality to secure a point here.

Prediction: NAC Breda 1-1 Utrecht
