Cambuur Leeuwarden

vs

Roda JC Kerkrade

Preview

Cambuur (Home)

• Cambuur Leeuwarden have won 12 and drawn three of their 15 home matches in the Eerste Divisie 2025-2026.
• Second in the table, with 66 points from 29 matches, Henk de Jong’s side are very difficult to beat at home and have been in particularly good form of late.
• A 3-2 home win over Almere City FC and a 1-0 away win against Jong FC Utrecht have extended Cambuur’s unbeaten run to five matches (W4, D1) ahead of this matchup with Roda JC.
• Cambuur’s 4-3-3 system makes good use of the width and tries to dominate the ball, but the hosts also have the intelligence to go with a five at the back when necessary and shut things down.
• 15 home matches have produced a total of 35 goals scored at Cambuur’s Leeuwarden stadium, which is an average of 2.33 per game.

Roda JC (Away)

• Roda JC, who sit sixth in the Eerste Divisie with 46 points from 30 matches, are another side in mixed form, with two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five matches.
• They drew 2-2 away at FC Den Bosch before suffering a 0-2 home defeat to Jong PSV last time out.
• Kevin van Dessel took over at Roda JC at the start of July 2025 and his high-energy, transition-focused style has kept his side competitive on the road.
• Roda JC have won eight, drawn five and lost just two of their 15 away matches this season, and they will certainly pose a threat on the counter here.
• The visitors prefer a narrow 4-4-2 formation in which their front two can operate quickly through transitions to get on the ball and in behind the opposition defense.
