AP Sports Preview

DEVENTER, Netherlands (Interstat) — Koninklijke UD Deventer hosts De Treffers on Saturday, April 25, 2026, in a Tweede Divisie matchup at De Adelaarshorst. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. local time.

De Treffers enter the contest riding a wave of dominant form, having won five of their last six matches. The visitors are coming off a resounding 4-1 victory over VV Katwijk on April 18, following a 6-2 thrashing of ACV on April 11. Their only blemish in recent weeks was a 2-2 draw at VV Rijnsburgse Boys on March 28.

The head-to-head record favors De Treffers. In their most recent meeting, Nov. 22, 2025, De Treffers defeated Koninklijke UD Deventer 1-0 at home. That shutout extended a trend of tight, low-scoring affairs between the two sides.

Koninklijke UD Deventer, conversely, has struggled for consistency. The hosts fell 2-0 at VV Rijnsburgse Boys on April 18, their second defeat in three matches. A narrow 2-1 loss to Barendrecht on April 11 preceded a 2-1 victory over Amsterdamsche W on March 21, but the home side has managed just one clean sheet in its last five outings.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 2-1 victory for De Treffers, a prediction bolstered by the visitors’ potent attack. De Treffers have scored at least three goals in four of their last six matches, while Koninklijke UD Deventer has been held scoreless in two of its last four.

De Treffers will rely on their disciplined defense, which has conceded only seven goals in its last 10 league matches. Koninklijke UD Deventer must find a way to break a stubborn backline that has yielded just one goal in the last two head-to-head meetings.

Following Saturday’s contest, De Treffers host Spakenburg on May 9, then visit Jong Sparta on May 16. Koninklijke UD Deventer travels to VV Katwijk on May 9 before facing ACV on May 16.

The match carries significant implications for positioning in the Tweede Divisie table, with both teams eyeing a strong finish to the season.
