REF’s picks

VVV Venlo arrive in strong third-place form and hold a clear historical edge over Jong Ajax, making them a solid choice to take all three points here. Jong Ajax have struggled badly for goals and consistency recently, leaving them vulnerable against a sharper visiting side.

1. 1VVV Venlo sit comfortably in the upper reaches of the table and boast four wins from their last five head-to-head encounters with Jong Ajax.
2. 2Jong Ajax's attack has gone quiet with a meager return of just three goals in their last five outings across all matches.
3. 3Away trips in the Eerste Divisie can sometimes yield unpredictable defensive lapses, and Venlo have occasionally leaked goals on the road.
