Cambuur vs ADO Den Haag Prediction
League Leaders ADO Visit High-Flying Cambuur
Preview
Right then, let's get down to business! This is a proper top-of-the-table clash, but make no mistake - there's one team that's been absolutely dominating this season. ADO Den Haag are sitting pretty at the top with 13 wins from 14 games, while Cambuur are doing well in second but are a full 6 points behind.
Looking at recent form, it's not even close really. ADO have won 9 of their last 10 matches, scoring an incredible 33 goals and only letting in 10. They're averaging 3.3 goals per game! Their away form is scary good too - 80% win rate on the road with 3.4 goals scored per game. They just smashed Roda 4-0 and put 4 past MVV away from home.
Cambuur aren't mugs though - they've won 4 of their last 10 and are scoring plenty at home (3 per game). But they've been a bit inconsistent lately, drawing 3-3 with lowly Eindhoven and losing twice to Waalwijk in recent weeks. Their defense is leaking 1.8 goals per game, which could be fatal against ADO's attack.
The head-to-head suggests goals - 7 of the last 8 meetings have seen both teams score, and 6 have gone over 2.5 goals. The last meeting was a 4-3 thriller.
Here's the thing though - ADO have had 14 days rest compared to Cambuur's 6 days. That's a massive advantage at this stage of the season. When you combine that with ADO's ridiculous form, their superior attacking stats (more shots, more on target), and their defensive solidity, it's hard to look past them.
Cambuur will score at home, but ADO look like they're just on another level this season. They're unbeaten in the league and have been crushing everyone. The value has to be on the league leaders continuing their dominant run.
