FC Eindhoven reset their brains and bodies for this game after their 2-2 result versus Jong Ajax, a match they learned a lot from. Will they show it against De Graafschap?

Insights:
  • FC Eindhoven have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded at home.
  • De Graafschap have the most clean sheets (13) in Eerste Divisie

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting De Graafschap 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 11-5-7 (win-draw-loss) from 23 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!
