3-2-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for ADO Den Haag in their Eerste Divisie matches away.

Haag aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 186 league minutes without a goal. T. Verheydt was the last player to find the net.

Two travels in a row for Haag, whose manager R. Brood could celebrate last time after the KNVB Beker win against Sparta Nijkerk.

The game before that, in the Eerste Divisie, was lost at home, a 0-2 defeat against Excelsior.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day.
