De Graafschap
- De Graafschap have won one, tied one and lost three of their last five competitive games but Thomas Duivenvoorden's men are the slight favorites to take the spoils in Monday's Eerste Divisie 2026-2027 matchup at De Vijverberg.
- They're priced up at 1.77 for this home matchup, which is a fair price considering Jong AZ come into the game without a win in their last two away (L2).
- However, the 3.55 around the visitors and 4.4 around the draw seem a little on the low side as there is a case to be made for either side to triumph here, and De Graafschap simply have better overall form to back them up.
Jong AZ
Jong AZ will set up with a compact, possession-based style as Frank Peereboom has a structured, build-up approach to the game that suits the academy's identity.
Head-to-Head
- De Graafschap have won the last two H2H matchups.
- Jong AZ have won none of their last 3 away H2Hs in the Eerste Divisie.
Key Players
- De Jong has already netted a goal in one Eerste Divisie 2026/2027 appearance and has scored two goals in the club's last five matches in all competitions.
- He is their main outlet and should be able to carve out enough chances to trouble the scoreboard in this one, while Nart Ahmeti will be the main provider after notching his first assist of the new campaign in the opening game.
Betting Insights
- All things considered, De Graafschap look the likelier winners here, but the market suggests that the home side will not be able to close it out easily.
-
Recommended markets:
- Over 2.5 goals - 1.3
- Both Teams To Score - Yes - 1.33
- The second pick is supported by De Graafschap scoring six goals in their last five games.
Prediction
This game could see a different winner, but Over 2.5 should land even if Jong AZ keep it close and we're going to take the hosts to make it three wins in a row in this matchup.
