MVV Maastricht
- Peter van den Berg’s men currently sit 17th in the Eerste Divisie with 30 points from 28 matches and have had an overall poor campaign.

- Five wins, three draws, five losses (13 home matches)

De Graafschap
- De Graafschap are in fine form, winning their last three matches in a row, and will be looking to take all three points in their trip to Maastricht on Friday.
- Marinus Dijkhuizen took over at the club in January 2025 and has instilled his vertical, high-tempo style of play on the side, who play on the front foot, dominate the ball and press high up the field in a bid to suffocate their opponents.
-
De Groene have conceded 20 goals in 14 away matches, an average of 1.43 goals per game against them, but they have more than enough attacking prowess to hurt teams on their travels, having won seven, drawn three and lost four league games on the road this season.
- Conceded: 20 in 14 away matches (1.43 per game)
- Away record: 7W, 3D, 4L
Head-to-Head
MVV won the last head-to-head between these two 1-0 away from home , but the home side has failed to win either of the previous two home meetings between the two sides.
Key Players
- Reuven Niemeijer
- Reuven Niemeijer has 14 goals in 28 league games for De Graafschap this season and has three goals in their last eight, so he is the most likely player to score anytime for the visitors.
- Ilano Silva Timas
- Ilano Silva Timas leads the scoring for MVV with five goals in 26 appearances, and is their most dangerous player.
Betting Insights
- De Graafschap are very likely to score that goal, and MVV should be compact and well-disciplined, so over 2.5 goals at 1.38 seems likely, as do the away win odds.
- The visitors are a much better side than their opponents on Friday, are in good form, have a better playing record on the road and have all the momentum.
Prediction
De Graafschap are on a run of three consecutive wins heading into this one, having beaten Jong Ajax 4-0 , Jong PSV 2-1 away from home and Jong FC Utrecht 1-0 , and they should take the points in this fixture.
