Match preview — ADO Den Haag hunting perfection at the WerkTalent Stadion
ADO Den Haag arrive at the WerkTalent Stadion carrying an almost terrifying run of form in the Eerste Divisie. Sitting top of the table with 52 points from 19 matches, the Hague side have turned their home ground into a fortress: 17 wins, just a single loss all season and an attacking return that reads like a powerhouse — 55 goals scored in the campaign so far. Recent results show a team in blistering rhythm; the 4-3 victory away at TOP Oss on December 12th was both thrilling and instructive, a match where Juho Kilo earned the match’s highest rating and illustrated ADO’s ability to outscore opponents even in open contests. The venue’s 15,000-capacity stands should be an intimidating backdrop for Jong PSV on December 19th.
Jong PSV arrive inconsistent but capable of trouble
Jong PSV come into this fixture with a patchy sequence of results. They sit fifth in the table with 31 points and a balance of nine wins, four draws and seven defeats across 20 matches. Their season numbers suggest a side that can score — 39 goals — but also concedes too freely with 38 shipped, and only three clean sheets to show for their efforts. The recent 3-2 loss to Almere City highlighted defensive fragility; Joel van den Berg’s performance in that defeat was a bright spot but insufficient to salvage points. The Eerste Divisie’s nature means Jong PSV will not be rolled over, yet their away metrics — fewer corners and lower danger-attack averages compared to ADO — underline the uphill task they face in The Hague.
Statistical angles and match narrative
This fixture promises open football. Both teams show high over-2.5 percentages: ADO’s matches have gone over 2.5 in 16 of 19 games (84.21%), while Jong PSV’s contests also show an 80% rate for the same market. ADO’s home attacking averages — over 20 shots per game and strong numbers for shots inside the box — contrast with Jong PSV’s leaner shot profile, but the visiting side’s tendency to both score and concede suggests we should expect goals at both ends. Their October H2H in this season ended 0-3 in ADO’s favor, reinforcing the home side’s confidence in direct clashes between these two outfits.
Betting context and market advice

Betting suggestion: Back Over 2.5 goals. Given ADO Den Haag’s explosive home scoring, Jong PSV’s tendency to both score and concede, and the very high over-2.5 percentages for both teams this season, the goal market offers the clearest statistical edge for this clash on 19/12/2025.
