FC Dordrecht are ready to brush off the league table before this match against Jong AZ. Here's all you need to know before the game!

Insights:
  • FC Dordrecht have the fewest scored goals in the second half (13) in Eerste Divisie
  • Jong AZ haven’t played a single 0-0 game away.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Jong AZ 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 1-2-10 (win-draw-loss) from 13 matches.

Jong AZ could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Eerste Divisie game only four sleeps ago.
