De Graafschap receive NAC Breda for another engrossing Eerste Divisie match here at Stadion De Vijverberg.

De Graafschap form and stats
The story so far in the Eerste Divisie for De Graafschap at their home stadium (Stadion De Vijverberg) is 0 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.
Happy days for De Graafschap in their previous game, a fixture away at Telstar (placed 15th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. What a relief, as that was the first league win after going winless in eight matches in a row. Fortes, defender, was given a rating of 7.92/10 in that game, top of the team. Fortes served one assist, hit two key passes and won 7 of 11 duels.
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus FC Dordrecht.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how De Graafschap have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 5 games) they have won 0 times, drawn 2 and lost 3.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Graafschap as they are travelling to their away game against Roda JC Kerkrade in the Eerste Divisie. That match is three days after this one.
