One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting JS Hercules have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 3-2-6 (win-draw-loss) from eleven matches.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
