FC Dordrecht
- FC Dordrecht are unbeaten at home this season, after 1 win from 1 game (W1, D0, L0), scoring an average of 2.00 goals per game and conceding an average of 1.00.
- Dordrecht's manager Paul Nuijten was appointed on 1 July 2026 and has set about installing an attack-first setup at FC Dordrecht, playing a more progressive and possession-first system, transitioning much quicker and building up the field with much more freedom.
- Roda sit in 8th place on 3 points from 2 games in the Eerste Divisie 2026/2027 table, while FC Dordrecht are 4th with 4 points from 2.

Roda JC Kerkrade
- Roda JC Kerkrade's manager Rob Penders has done a remarkable job with De Koempels in his six months in charge, with the team coming on in leaps and bounds during his time at the helm since 1 July 2026.
- Penders has moulded Roda into a much more compact and modern team, set up to press in a structured way and play balanced possession soccer that can hurt teams on the transition, particularly in the half of the field that suits them.
- Roda's form is also mixed, with 1 win, 1 draw, and 3 losses from their last 5, most recently a 2-1 win at home to Helmond Sport after back-to-back defeats on the road.
