An underdog story in waiting
Call us crazy but we can sense a giant killing on the horizon and that is why we are backing Treffers to win this game. On the surface of things, it’s an amateur side of Holland’s third tier facing an elite Eredivise team. Scratch below the surface though and you might find the perfect storm. Treffers are flying high in their league as they sit third whilst Cambuur are rock bottom of the top flight standings; not only could that mean these two are in the same league next year but it paints a picture of their differing form too. Cambuur have won just twice in 10 away games whilst Treffers have lost just one of 10 at home. Throw in the pressure that comes with being the bigger fish in this clash and it’s very much a banana skin. We think Cambuur will slip on it!
Don't bank on a glut of goals
Our next tip for this match comes from the total goals market. We are backing under 2.5 goals. Treffers have gone south of that 2.5 goal marker in three of their last five games whilst Cambuur have seen just one of their last four games feature three or more goals. It’s not just the fact that more of their recent games have gone under 2.5 goals that inspire this tip though. The game averages across the respective last five games are under the all important marker too at 2.2 and 2.4 respectively.

So, that gives you some insight to how the different bookmakers see the action unfolding. How though do the bookies odds translate into probabilities ahead of this game? Let's find out.
Treffers odds: 16/5 (4.20) – 24%
Draw odds: 57/20 (3.85) – 26%
Cambuur odds: 22/31 (1.71) – 59%
Although Cambuur are odds on favourite to win this game with the bookies, you can see that there is a slight element of doubt with 16/5 (4.20) not exactly a sky high price for an amateur side taking on a team from the top flight. When you start to look at the other markets the stand out price is perhaps the total goals bet on ‘over’ 2.5 goals. Despite stats leaning towards the ‘under’ outcome it’s the ‘over’ bet that is heavily odds on at 1/2 (1.50).
Check out the predicted lineups ahead of Treffers vs Cambuur
Treffers
Treffers have been really good this season and now have the chance to broadcast their displays to a larger audience here as they face stronger opposition. Being at home though gives them a real chance to progress to the next stage and they’ll go with a strong XI here.
Predicted lineup – Kornelis (GK), Sirvania, Ippel, Janssen, Langeveld, van Hees, Campman, Gyasi, Thomassen, Vlijter, Maertzdorf
Cambuur
Cambuur’s main goal this season is to stay in the Eredivise and whilst this game will be a real challenge for them, we expect them to make a few changes to their lineup. That said, their 4-3-3 formation is likely to remain consistent.
Predicted lineup – Virginia (GK), Bangura, Bergsma, Tol, Smand, Pichel, Jacobs, van Kam, Breji, Boere, van der Water
