- Cambuur Leeuwarden have won three of their last five games and lost one.

- Cambuur Leeuwarden have won ten of their 16 Eerste Divisie away matches, averaging nearly 2 goals per away match.
Cambuur can continue their title pursuit with a win in Venlo
The VVV Venlo vs Cambuur Leeuwarden prediction is that Cambuur Leeuwarden have had VVV Venlo’s measure in the last few years and should be able to take the points in the latest Eerste Divisie fixture between these two clubs.
Ichem Ferrah’s 11 goals for the Leeuwarden-based club in 30 appearances this season make him Cambuur's top scorer, but the prolific forward is just one of a number of players capable of finding the net with panache.
Cambuur’s 2025-26 campaign has been built on the strength of their solid foundation of possession football with the ball and patient, disciplined pressing without it. Coach Henk de Jong, who took charge of the club in October 2023, has instilled a mature approach and culture of smart, probing football in the first team that has them cruising towards the title with 73 points from 33 games.
Venlo, meanwhile, have had a less successful campaign with their 38 points from 33 matches putting them 13th in the table, though they are still fighting for play-off ambitions and do have a chance to disrupt their visitors’ title ambitions in what should be a thrilling contest.
Venlo will push forward
Our VVV Venlo vs Cambuur Leeuwarden preview identifies that VVV coach Peter Uneken took charge in October 2025 and has seen his team play with an aggressive pressing style, moving the ball quickly and playing vertically, especially through the number ten position.
Both teams have shown they can score goals this season, with the home side having won just six of their 16 home matches and having scored 17 goals in those matches.
With Cambuur scoring nearly 2 goals per away match, an away win looks extremely likely here.
Best bets for the game
This VVV Venlo vs Cambuur Leeuwarden prediction is informed by Bjorn van Zijl being VVV’s leading scorer in the Eerste Divisie with nine goals in 25 games, but Dean Zandbergen has been their best player in recent weeks, scoring two of VVV’s last three goals in five games.
De Jong’s team have strong recent form, with playmaker Jamal Amofa providing three assists, and it’s difficult to see any other result than a Cambuur win in this game.
Although Cambuur have already secured promotion, VVV still have a faint hope of making the play-offs, so it’s unlikely Uneken will hold back in this encounter, which will suit Cambuur, who are a team that are better when they can control the pace of the game.
The VVV Venlo vs Cambuur Leeuwarden betting tips suggest the odds for an away victory are attractive, but with both teams capable of scoring and both sides wanting to get in front, the likelihood of a high-scoring game with both sides on the scoreboard looks good.
