Harkemase Boys will hope that their home support is enough to get all three points from this back-breaking duel, against dynamic Rijnvogels.

Insights:
  • Harkemase Boys have won significantly more corners at home than away.
  • Rijnvogels have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Rijnvogels 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 5-4-1 (win-draw-loss) from ten 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.
