Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Groene Ster & Vitesse face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the KNVB Beker. All the pre-match information is available here!
It's no vacation for neither Groene nor Vitesse as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Heartbreak before that as Groene Ster lost 0-1 at UNA's place.Vitesse form and stats
