Den Bosch vs MVV Prediction & Betting Tips

Recent form tells two different stories

Den Bosch have been properly inconsistent: a 5-2 home win over FC Eindhoven sits next to a 1-4 home defeat to Vitesse, and they've also lost away at Jong PSV and Volendam in their last few outings. Goals have flowed both ways for them all season, with 35 for and 37 against across their last 20 matches.

Den Bosch: 20 completed matches; MVV: 20 completed matches.

MVV's picture is more worrying at the moment. After a decent stretch of wins through August, they've come off the rails with back-to-back heavy defeats, 0-4 at home to Almere City and 1-6 away at Waalwijk. That's a sharp dip from a team that looked solid just a few weeks earlier.

MVV's recent slump is steeper than Den Bosch's, even if the table still favours them overall.

Comparative Team Statistics: Den Bosch vs MVV

Head-to-head

MVV have had the better of this fixture recently. Of the last five meetings, they've won three, drawn one, and lost just the one, a 4-2 defeat away at Den Bosch back in September 2025.

Go further back and the record between these two is much more even, stretching over nearly a decade of meetings with wins shared fairly evenly. It's the recent run that stands out more than the long history.

MVV have generally had the upper hand in this fixture lately, though it's not a one-sided rivalry historically.

Where they sit

MVV are handily placed in sixth after seven games, with four wins and just two defeats so far. Den Bosch are down in 16th from the same number of matches, having lost four of their seven.

It's a decent early-season gap, but with only seven games played for both, there's still plenty of time for things to shift before this fixture comes round.

MVV's league position looks the stronger of the two right now, though it's an early-season table.

Key men to watch

O. Dumont has been MVV's main source of goals, with four in seven appearances this season. Den Bosch have a similar focal point in S. Karlsson Grach, also on four goals from seven matches.

Den Bosch's K. Felida has picked up three yellow cards in five games, which is worth keeping an eye on given how often he's been booked in a short spell. There's no wider injury information here, so it's hard to say who else might be missing by kickoff.

An open, goal-friendly matchup on paper

Neither side has looked especially tight defensively this season. Den Bosch have shipped heavy scorelines at home and away, and MVV's two most recent results, conceding four and six, show they're capable of leaking goals in bulk too.

Put both team's scoring and conceding patterns together and this doesn't look like a fixture that's likely to be short on goals, though a month out it's hard to be certain how either side's form will look by then.
