KNVB Beker (Netherlands)

Mierlo-Hout have demonstrated a clear pattern of high-scoring cup ties in their recorded fixtures. Both their 4-2 defeat against 't Zand and their 3-2 loss against Flevo Boys saw at least five total goals scored, with Mierlo-Hout scoring twice in each match. With their cup matches producing open end-to-end action, backing over 2.5 total goals aligns with the scoring trends displayed in these preliminary round ties.

Purmersteijn have been in productive form throughout August, remaining unbeaten across three matches with a 3-1 win over VV Scherpenzeel, a 1-1 draw with Sportlust '46, and a 2-1 victory over Hoogeveen. Zwaluw VFC have struggled defensively in their recorded cup fixtures, suffering multi-goal defeats against Rijnvogels and Scherpenzeel. Backing the hosts to avoid defeat covers both a home win and a potential level score over ninety minutes.

ACV bring strong form into this cup fixture, having won four of their last five matches and remaining unbeaten in that span. In contrast, Westlandia have lost five consecutive matches without scoring a single goal, falling to defeats against FC Lisse, Excelsior Maassluis, Achilles Veen twice, and RKAV Volendam. ACV's reliable scoring and solid defensive foundation make a home victory the most probable outcome.

Recent trends and previous meetings point toward an active match on the scoreboard. The two head-to-head clashes between GOES and Noordwijk produced eight total goals, finishing 3-1 and 2-2. GOES have consistently been involved in high-scoring affairs, with four of their last five fixtures seeing at least four goals scored. Although Noordwijk have kept three consecutive clean sheets, the combination of GOES's open defensive setup and Noordwijk's sharp finishing indicates that over 2.5 total goals carries strong probability.

Both previous head-to-head fixtures comfortably surpassed the 2.5 goal mark, producing a 4-0 home victory for FC 's-Gravenzande and a 3-2 win for Gemert. Gemert have scored at least twice in four of their last five matches while conceding multiple goals in four of those games, leading to regular high totals. FC 's-Gravenzande have also shown defensive frailties in recent fixtures, making over 2.5 total goals the best-supported market for this cup clash.

Dovo enter this preliminary cup tie with demonstrated match sharpness, having scored in each of their last five competitive matches, including a 3-1 away win at Eemdijk and a 1-1 draw at SVZW. While their defensive unit has conceded seven goals across those five games, their consistent scoring ability gives them a solid foundation to secure at least a draw or an outright victory against a Surhusterfean side with unproven recent form.

UDI '19 have shown dependable form heading into this cup tie, remaining unbeaten in their last three matches with two consecutive victories against TOGB and Vvsb. They have scored in each of their previous five games, demonstrating consistent attacking output that positions them well to avoid defeat on the road.

Zwaluwen's recent matches have consistently featured multiple goals. Four of their last five recorded fixtures have produced three or more goals, including a 3-1 loss to Poortugaal, a 4-0 loss to Dongen, a 3-0 win over Blauw Geel, and a 6-1 win against ASWH. Their recent defensive vulnerabilities combined with attacking capability suggest an open cup tie with over 2.5 total goals.

Roosendaal have shown competitive capability with strong attacking outputs in recent months, notably defeating Groene Ster 3-1 away and UDI 19 4-3 at home. Although recent 1-0 losses against FC Lisse and Noordwijk show room for improvement in front of goal, backing Roosendaal to avoid defeat provides a well-balanced position in a cup environment.

DVS 33 Ermelo have struggled in front of goal recently, scoring one goal or fewer in four of their last five matches, including a 1-1 draw against ACV and a 1-0 defeat to Harkemase Boys. Four of those five fixtures finished with three total goals or fewer, pointing towards another measured cup encounter that is likely to stay below the 3.5 goal threshold.

Katwijk enter this knockout tie in superior recent form compared to their hosts. Having kept a clean sheet in their recent 2-0 away victory against Barendrecht, Katwijk demonstrate solid defensive organisation. In contrast, TOGB have struggled heavily at the back, conceding thirteen goals in their last five outings without securing a single win. Backing Katwijk to win or draw covers the most probable outcomes while accounting for cup unpredictability.

Hoogeveen have already shown they can find ways past SVZW at home, winning the previous meeting 4-3 in August. SVZW have shown defensive vulnerabilities on the road, conceding four goals in each of their last two away outings against Hoogeveen and Excelsior '31. Backing the home side to win or draw covers the most likely outcomes in this cup tie.

Hollandia hold home advantage in this cup tie and showed considerable scoring capability in their recent 5-5 draw against Sparta Nijkerk. Halsteren have struggled to score in recent recorded away trips, failing to find the net in defeats against SC Genemuiden and FC s-Gravenzande. Backing Hollandia to either win or draw provides solid coverage in a knockout context where defensive lapses could open up chances at both ends.

Rijnvogels have demonstrated solid form across their recent outings, including a 4-1 victory over GOES and a 2-1 home win against Excelsior Maassluis. Backing them to win or draw provides solid coverage in a knockout tie where they possess the clear advantage in active match sharpness and recent goal output.

Dongen enter this cup clash on the back of four straight wins and an unbeaten five-match run, having scored at least three goals in each of their three fixtures played in August 2026. In contrast, JOS Watergraafsmeer dropped their last two competitive matches in May 2026, conceding six times across those fixtures. The head-to-head history also features frequent goalscoring, with three of the four prior meetings seeing three or more goals.

Sparta Nijkerk have seen extremely open games lately, with their last three matches producing scorelines of 5-5, 1-3, and 3-3. Each of their last five matches has produced three or more total goals. Meanwhile, Venray have conceded at least four goals in each of their four listed fixtures, including heavy scorelines of 3-5 against Gemert and 1-4 against Westlandia. The defensive records on both sides strongly favour a high-scoring cup encounter exceeding the 2.5 goal line.

Both sides are enduring significant defensive difficulties entering this tie. Hercules have allowed twelve goals over their past three fixtures, while EVV have conceded at least three goals in four of their last five outings. In addition, EVV have scored in all five of their recent fixtures. Historical head-to-head meetings also favour an open contest, with all four recorded past encounters between the sides producing three or more total goals at an average of 4.25 per match.

Vvsb have shown solid competitive rhythm in recent matches, picking up a 1-0 win over Poortugaal and securing a 3-3 draw against Groene Ster. Ajax Amateurs have struggled for results in their recorded sequence, dropping four straight games and conceding multiple goals in three of them. Covering the home win or draw offers a reliable angle given the recent form dynamic.

Direct encounters between Vvsb and Ajax Amateurs have historically been open, with five of the six past meetings clearing the 2.5 goal mark and averaging 4.17 goals per match. Vvsb's most recent outing produced six goals in a 3-3 draw, while Ajax Amateurs allowed nine goals across their last three matches.

UNA enter this cup tie in superior recent form, remaining unbeaten in their three August fixtures with a 4-1 victory against EVV alongside 1-1 draws against Zwaluwen and TOGB. In contrast, Staphorst are winless in their last three outings, conceding six goals across that sequence, including a 4-2 home defeat against Excelsior 31. Backing UNA to win or draw covers the most probable outcomes based on recent form.

Both teams have shown significant defensive openness in their recent games. Groene Ster conceded three goals in each of their last three matches, while Heerjansdam have conceded in all five of their recent fixtures. With both sides consistently finding the back of the net, conditions favour an open cup tie with at least three total goals.

Yes — 63% confidence

VV Scherpenzeel have both scored and conceded in four consecutive matches heading into this fixture. With AFC '34 having home territory in a single-leg cup tie, both sides have viable pathways to find the back of the net.

Over 2.5 Goals — 66% confidence

VV Scherpenzeel have seen over 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five recorded matches, with individual scorelines of 3-2, 2-1, 1-3, and 4-4. The high frequency of goals in their recent fixtures points towards another high-scoring cup contest.

These two calls are about different parts of the match (both teams to score and total goals), so neither one determines the other. The figure shown is the lower of the two — a combo can never be more likely than its weaker leg.

Sportlust '46 or Draw — 76% confidence

Sportlust '46 have shown solid form across their opening fixtures in August, remaining unbeaten with a win and two draws while scoring six goals. Blauw Geel have struggled for positive results, losing two of their three matches in August and failing to score in two of those fixtures. Sportlust '46 also won both prior head-to-head encounters by a 2-1 scoreline, making the home double chance a well-supported option.

Over 2.5 Goals — 66% confidence

Sportlust '46 have been involved in open contests this season, scoring six goals and conceding five across their three matches in August. Blauw Geel were involved in a five-goal clash in their last match, losing 3-2 to Achilles Veen.

Every one of the four head-to-head encounters between ADO '20 and Excelsior Maassluis has seen at least one side fail to score. ADO '20 kept clean sheets in two of their last three home matches and were held to a 0-0 draw by Staphorst last time out, while Excelsior Maassluis failed to score in their most recent away game at FC Lisse.

ADO '20 have proven durable on home turf, going undefeated across three consecutive home matches with two wins and one draw. Excelsior Maassluis have had a tougher time away from home, managing a 1-1 draw at UDI '19 before suffering a 1-0 defeat to FC Lisse in their two most recent away fixtures.

Kloetinge's recent fixtures have been exceptionally high-scoring. Across their last five matches, a total of 24 goals have been scored, with every single match producing at least four total goals. Kloetinge have scored 13 goals and conceded 11 without keeping a clean sheet in that span, making over 2.5 goals the standout probability.

Over 2.5 Goals — 68% confidence

Eemdijk have seen three or more total goals in each of their last five recorded matches, with total match tallies reaching four, five, four, three, and four. Their high rate of conceding, combined with steady scoring, strongly supports the over 2.5 goals line.

Yes — 62% confidence

Eemdijk have conceded in all five of their recent recorded fixtures while finding the net themselves in four of those five games. With Elinkwijk also scoring and conceding in their last cup appearance, both teams finding the scoresheet remains a plausible outcome.

Koninklijke HFC or Draw — 74% confidence

Koninklijke HFC hold a distinct advantage in match readiness, having already played four competitive fixtures in August 2026, highlighted by their 2-1 win at Almere City II. LONGA '30 lack recent competitive data, making the away side strong candidates to avoid defeat over ninety minutes.

HZVV cup fixtures have consistently seen substantial goal volume, with all four of their recorded cup matches producing well over two goals. Their previous outings include a 4-2 win over Aalsmeer and a 5-1 defeat to Excelsior Maassluis. Early-round knockout ties typically generate open chances, making over 2.5 total match goals the most grounded selection.

Yes — 68% confidence

Achilles Veen have scored in four of their last five matches but have conceded in every single one during that span, letting in a total of 16 goals. Poortugaal have found the net three times in each of their last two fixtures, indicating both sides have the offensive capacity to get on the scoresheet while showing room for improvement defensively.

Over 2.5 Goals — 74% confidence

Achilles Veen have seen all five of their recorded matches produce at least four total goals, including scorelines of 3-2, 0-4, 1-4, and 2-4.

Both sides have displayed dependable finishing in recent weeks. SC Genemuiden have scored ten goals across their last four matches, while FC Lisse have recorded fourteen goals during their five-match winning streak. The offensive form displayed by both squads points toward a match that produces at least three goals.

SC Genemuiden have found the net in each of their last five competitive matches, scoring at least twice in three of those fixtures. FC Lisse have also scored in all five of their recent games. With both teams regularly creating and converting chances, there is a strong likelihood of both finding the target.

Harkemase Boys or Draw — 67% confidence

Harkemase Boys hold the upper hand in the head-to-head record, winning five of the eight historical meetings, including three victories in four matches played on their own pitch. With four consecutive home victories behind them, the home side is well positioned to avoid defeat in normal time against an in-form opponent.

Over 2.5 Goals — 74% confidence

Both teams enter this cup tie displaying potent attacking output. Excelsior '31 have scored at least two goals in each of their last five matches, totaling 17 goals, while Harkemase Boys have scored 12 goals in their last four matches. Additionally, the eight previous meetings between these clubs have averaged 3.25 goals per fixture, indicating strong potential for this line to be cleared.

TEC or Draw — 72% confidence

TEC have displayed positive attacking numbers on their own pitch, scoring multiple goals in two of their last three home matches with wins over Sparta Nijkerk and NEO. While defensive lapses were evident in their 2-1 defeat to Sportlust 46, home familiarity gives them the edge to at least avoid defeat in regular time of this cup encounter.

Over 2.5 Goals — 64% confidence

TEC's home fixtures have consistently produced goal mouth action, with all three of their recent home matches seeing three goals scored (3-1, 3-0, and 1-2). In a knockout cup format where teams must eventually push for a result, the trend points towards a match exceeding the 2.5 goal threshold.
