FC Dordrecht
- Dirk Kuyt’s men have picked up three wins, one draw and one defeat from their last five games and have shown plenty of attacking intent since he took over in July 2025.
- Kuyt has been pushing the game forward with Dordrecht regularly playing a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 and the tempo that they try to set with their high press and wide play should cause problems for the Maastricht defence on Friday.
MVV Maastricht
- Peter van den Berg took over in October 2025 and has since tried to bring more structure to the Limburg side, who have fared better in the first half of the campaign.
- MVV’s average of 0.80 goals scored per away game and 2.27 conceded is much worse than they have managed at home.
- MVV have won one, drawn two and lost two of their last five and are coming off the back of two consecutive away defeats in which they conceded five goals without reply and a 3-3 home draw with De Graafschap.
Head-to-Head
- FC Dordrecht finished up 1-0 winners in the last head-to-head meeting between these clubs in the Eerste Divisie six months ago.
- FC Dordrecht have won four of the last five meetings of these clubs in the Eerste Divisie and lost just once.
- MVV Maastricht have failed to win any of their recent away matches against FC Dordrecht.
Key Players
Sven Braken has six goals in 25 league appearances for MVV, two of which have come in their last five, while Argyris Darelas has scored two of Dordrecht’s last six goals in what looks like a timely run of form.
Betting Insights
A home win would be no surprise here, but the odds of 1.42 on the home side are a bit short and instead we will back goals to be scored at both ends in a game that should feature plenty of them.
Prediction
- FC Dordrecht are the clear favorites to win on Friday and can get the job done again.
- We will take them to come out on top of a high-scoring game that should see both teams on the scoresheet.
