This could be an interesting match as FC Eindhoven have their presumed home advantage while NEC are ahead 8 points in the Eerste Divisie table.
- FC Eindhoven have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- NEC haven’t played a single 0-0 game away.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the KNVB Beker.
Eindhoven's stadium, Jan Louwers Stadion, has a artifical turf surface. NEC have grass on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for NEC when playing on artifical turf; 9 wins, 7 draws and 10 losses from 26 matches. They have scored 44 goals in these games and conceded 40.
