Maastricht vs Cambuur Prediction & Betting tips
The only match in the Kitchen Champion Division on Friday night is one with contrasts. Cambuur can seize the lead with a win, while MVV Maastricht can drop to last place during this round.
MVV:
MVV ended the last but one in the first period of the new season. Fuat Usta, who is starting this season, achieved only seven points from the first nine league games. This puts the ambitious people from Maastricht in the penultimate position. Only FC Dordrecht managed to score even fewer points. The Maastricht team already suffered four defeats in a row, while Telstar, FC Den Bosch, Young Ajax and last week Helmond Sport did not hit the toughest opponents.
Against Helmond, the match started very promising for MVV, which was taken by Anthony van den Hurk, who took the lead. After the red card for defender Shermar Martina, which was severely penalized, things went completely wrong for MVV. By hits from substitute Bram Zwanen and Diego Snepvangers (a double pass), the points remained in East Brabant and Helmond jumped over the Maastricht team in the rankings.
MVV plays without confidence and Usta juggles weekly with its base team. On Friday, however, he can rotate less because he has to miss a large number of players. Despite their bad start to the season, Shermar and Shermaine Martina have been called up for the national team of Curaçao, while Joeri Schroijen is suspended. Enes Mahmutovic and Facundo Bonifazi are doubts due to injury oath.
Cambuur:
Where MVV is in a downward spiral and is sinking further weekly in the rankings, Cambuur is making an unstoppable advance. The team of coach Henk de Jong won the last six games and had to leave the period title at one point to NAC. With a victory in Maastricht, the Leeuwarders spend the weekend at the top position of the Kitchen Champion Division.
Cambuur won the last six league games and usually did so with good football and big wins. Last week direct competitor Excelsior was beaten by no less than 4-0, while in the previous weeks also FC Volendam (0-4) and Helmond Sport (5-1) were beaten with resounding figures. The club doesn’t seem to stop anymore and the fans are already dreaming of a return in the Eredivisie, where the team relegated in 2016.
Cambuur is a very stable team this season. No less than 24 goals were scored in 9 league matches, while goalkeeper Sonny Stevens only had to fish six times. The great man at Cambuur is Robert Mühren. De Volendammer is active on a rental basis from Zulte Waregem and has scored eight times. Jeremie Jacobs, who came over from Young AZ this summer, already scored six times. The newcomers Mees Hoedemakers, Erik Schouten and Sonny Stevens are still performing very well, so the club management can be very satisfied.
