Cambuur vs Maastricht Prediction & Betting Tips (19 December)

SC Cambuur enter this fixture with momentum after a string of solid performances in recent weeks. In November, they stunned Vitesse with a 4-0 away victory, followed by a convincing 4-1 triumph over Jong Ajax, showing their attacking depth and ability to dominate weaker defenses. Despite a setback in the KNVB Beker against Waalwijk, where they lost 3-2, Cambuur quickly bounced back with a 1-0 win against Willem II earlier this month. Their consistency in the Eerste Divisie has kept them near the top of the table, and their home form has been particularly impressive, with seven wins in their last ten matches. The team’s ability to score freely while maintaining defensive discipline has made them one of the most feared sides in the division, and their supporters will expect another commanding display at the Kooi Stadion.

MVV Maastricht, on the other hand, have endured a mixed run of results over the past two months. They managed a spirited 2-1 victory against Jong Ajax, showcasing resilience and attacking flair, but their inconsistency has been evident in subsequent matches. A heavy 4-2 defeat to Helmond Sport highlighted defensive vulnerabilities, while a 1-0 loss to RKC Waalwijk further underlined their struggles away from home. More recently, they were held to a 0-0 draw by Roda JC, before suffering a 3-1 defeat against Jong AZ Alkmaar. These results have left Maastricht in the lower half of the table, with their away form being a particular concern, as they have only managed one win in their last ten away fixtures. The team’s inability to maintain defensive solidity against stronger opponents has been a recurring issue, and facing Cambuur’s potent attack will be a daunting challenge.

The head-to-head record between these two sides heavily favors Cambuur, who have consistently dominated Maastricht in recent seasons. In May 2025, Cambuur secured a narrow 1-0 win, while earlier encounters saw more emphatic scorelines, including a 5-2 victory in January 2024 and a 4-1 win in the KNVB Beker in November 2023. These results underline Cambuur’s superiority in this fixture, particularly when playing at home. Maastricht’s struggles against Cambuur are not just statistical but psychological, as repeated defeats have created a mental barrier that is difficult to overcome. With Cambuur’s current form and their ability to score multiple goals in quick succession, the visitors will need to produce something extraordinary to reverse the trend. The contrast in form, confidence, and squad depth between the two teams makes this matchup appear heavily tilted in favor of the hosts.

Taking all recent performances and historical context into account, the prediction leans strongly toward another Cambuur victory. Their attacking trio has been relentless, and their midfield control ensures they create numerous chances, while Maastricht’s defensive frailties are likely to be exposed once again. Although Maastricht may find a way to score, given Cambuur’s tendency to concede occasionally, the balance of play suggests a comfortable win for the home side. Therefore, the most realistic forecast for this clash is a 3:1 scoreline in favor of Cambuur, reflecting their dominance, attacking efficiency, and Maastricht’s ongoing struggles away from home.
