We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Go Ahead Eagles have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 14-5-7 (win-draw-loss) from 26 matches.
FC Den Bosch form and stats
With 3 Eerste Divisie wins, 5 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, FC Den Bosch are certainly not brimming with confidence.
Bosch are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Almere City. Ahead of that match, Bosch lost 1-5 at home to FC Volendam.
Bosch's goalkeeper Wouter Van der Steen was extremely busy against Almere City, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning six saves.
The match schedule is unforgiving for FC Den Bosch as they have a new game in only four days, a Eerste Divisie match thankfully also at home. FC Oss are visiting.

Go Ahead Eagles are travelling after their nice 5-1 home win in the Eerste Divisie against FC Dordrecht (placed 19th). Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs SC Cambuur.
As you can tell from the results above, Eagles was very dominant against FC Dordrecht, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 5-1 (!) with Bradly Van Hoeven, Jeroen Veldmate, Sam Hendriks (2) and Martijn Berden providing the goals.
A new game in only four days for Eagles, the Eerste Divisie home match versus Roda JC Kerkrade. Busy days.
