Although most teams in the Eerste Divisie have played two games this season, MVV have played just the one. That will all change on Friday night when they take on Dordrecht as they look to follow up their opening-day victory with another three points. The home side won’t be easy to beat, however, which sets this up to be a fascinating contest. Ahead of the game, here are some free tips and predictions.

The best Dordrecht vs. MVV predictions and picks

MVV to win

Last season, MVV enjoyed a good campaign in the second tier of Dutch football, finishing in 5th place in the Eerste Divisie. Their form last season will have made them believe they can go even better this season and reach the promised land of the Eredivisie. They won their opening match of the season 3-1 away to Venlo and they will fancy their chances of making it two out of two when they face Dordrecht on Friday.

BTTS

Out of the three games that these two teams have played combined this season, two of them have seen both teams scoring goals. Dordrecht drew the first game of their season 2-2, while they lost their second game 2-0. Interestingly though, the game they drew 2-2 was played on home turf just like their match against MVV is set to be. MVV, on the other hand, have played just once this season and that finished in a 3-1 victory.

Over 0.5 first half goals

A goal in the first half seems like a good bet to take on for this match, particularly as MVV will be coming into this one extremely fresh following 11 days of recovery. Dordrecht are also notorious for starting quickly at home and took 1-0 lead into half time in their previous fixture in front of their home fans.

Dordrecht vs. MVV: Team news and preview

Dordrecht

It was a poor season for Dordrecht last time out and if it wasn’t for relegation protection in the Eerste Divisie then they would have been in serious trouble of dropping into the third tier as they finished in 18th place. They haven’t started this season well either and are on just one point after two matches.

MVV

MVV have a lot more hope than their opponents for the season ahead following a fifth-placed finish last season. A lot of their hopes will pin on teenage sensation, Ferre Slegers, who will surely be playing in the Eredivisie before long regardless of whether MVV secure promotion or not this season.

Dordrecht and MVV have faced each other on 45 occasions throughout history. Out of those encounters, Dordrecht have come out on top in 13, MVV have won 19 and there have been 13 further draws.
