Cambuur could move into 3rd place and be just 1 point behind the second-place team with a win in this round. The team has lost their last 2 away games in the Eerste Divisie 2024/2025 but still stands out with the second-best record among visitors (62% win rate, having earned 32 points in 17 away games).

Coach Henk de Jong will need to make changes to the previous starting lineup, based on the 4-2-3-1 tactical system, as centre-back Bryant Nieling will serve a suspension for accumulating 5 yellow cards. Floris Smand and Spanish player Arnau Casas are competing for the starting spot in defence. The standout player for Cambuur is goalkeeper Thijs Jansen, who holds the clean sheet record (having played 33 matches and not conceded in 14 of them).
