ADO Den Haag v Cambuur: survival stakes and fragile defences in Eredivisie basement battle | OneFootball

ADO Den Haag host Cambuur in the Eredivisie on Saturday, 19 September 2026 in Den Haag, with the bottom side chasing a first league win and the visitors looking to build on an upturn after a difficult start.

The head-to-head leans Cambuur's way. They've won five of the last six meetings across league and cup, including a 2-1 away win in January.

ADO Den Haag are 18th with one point from six games after four defeats and one draw in their last five. Cambuur are 15th and trending upwards, following a draw at Telstar and a 3-0 home win over NEC Nijmegen that brought a first clean sheet of the season.

Availability could matter. ADO Den Haag are without Cameron Peupion and Mylian Jiménez through injury. Cambuur list Wout Asselman as injured.

The match-up points to chances at both ends. ADO Den Haag have conceded sixteen league goals and are yet to keep a clean sheet, while Cambuur have let in eighteen but carry a threat. Rafik El Arguioui is on four league goals and Ilyès Hamache on three. Nicolas Binder has supplied two assists for the visitors, whose open-play crossing accuracy stands at 31.58%. For the hosts, Evan Rottier leads creation with two assists, and set deliveries from wide could be a route in given their 21.25% cross accuracy.

ADO Den Haag need a result to climb towards safety in the relegation fight. Cambuur, buoyed by their recent uptick, could put more distance between themselves and the bottom three with another positive outcome.
