One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting NAC Breda 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 10-6-9 (win-draw-loss) from 25 matches.
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!
