VVV Venlo
- VVV Venlo have won 3 and lost 2 of their last 5 matches in all competitions.
- With 15 points from 8 games, VVV are 5th in the Eerste Divisie 2026/2027 and right in the playoff mix.
- The Good Old have had their ups and downs, beating TOP Oss 3-1 at home and Jong FC Utrecht 3-1 away, but losing 3-2 to FC Volendam in a game they should have won.
- Marinus Dijkhuizen's men are an exciting side to watch, playing a direct game with good width and pace.
- Lars de Blok is the creative spark, with 7 assists in 8 league matches, 5 assists in their last 5-game burst, while Dean Zandbergen is the sharpest finisher, with 4 goals in 4 games in 2026/2027.
Ajax Amsterdam Reserves
- Ajax Amsterdam Reserves have won 1, drawn 2 and lost 2 of their last 5 games.
- Ajax Amsterdam Reserves are languishing 17th in the Eerste Divisie 2026/2027, with 8 points from 9 matches, so they're definitely in the fight to get out of the relegation zone.
- Ajax Amsterdam Reserves' recent form has been mixed, with a 0-2 home defeat to RKC Waalwijk, a 6-1 away defeat to Jong FC Utrecht and a 0-0 home draw with Roda JC Kerkrade.
Head-to-Head
Ajax can't seem to get their groove back and although they beat VVV 1-0 away in the Eerste Divisie 2025/2026 , they have failed to win either of their previous two home games against Venlo.
Key Players
- Lars de Blok is the creative spark, with 7 assists in 8 league matches, 5 assists in their last 5-game burst, while Dean Zandbergen is the sharpest finisher, with 4 goals in 4 games in 2026/2027.
- Diego Pugno is the main goal threat for Ajax, with 5 in 8 Eerste Divisie 2026/2027 games, so he's a good pick for an anytime goal at 4/1, while Zandbergen is a good choice on the same basis at 4/1.
