ADO Den Haag’s superior away form and form can prevail
The De Graafschap vs ADO Den Haag prediction indicates that ADO Den Haag have played the best soccer in the Eerste Divisie 2025-2026 and their recent form suggests they will take the three points when they travel to play De Graafschap on Sunday. ADO Den Haag have accumulated an incredible 74 points from 32 games and currently sit on top of the Eerste Divisie table. De Graafschap are on 52 points and in third place after 31 games.
Marinus Dijkhuizen is a pragmatic manager who has implemented a well structured and vertically oriented 4-3-3 since his appointment in January 2025. De Graafschap use their wingers to run in behind to break lines and exploit spaces, while pressing situational in order to exploit the opposition when out of possession.
Robin Peter has adopted a far more adventurous approach since taking the reins at ADO Den Haag in July 2025. ADO Den Haag’s 4-3-3 formation has been a high-tempo system in which they press with numbers high up the field and flood the flanks with overlapping full-backs and attacking width.
The clash of philosophies should make this a highly competitive game between two of the best and most entertaining sides in the division. According to our De Graafschap vs ADO Den Haag prediction, Jari Vlak is ADO Den Haag’s main scoring threat with ten goals in 29 league appearances, while Reuven Niemeijer is De Graafschap’s talisman with 16 goals in 31 appearances. He has scored three of De Graafschap’s last nine.
