  • Jong Ajax have scored at least twice as many goals at home as FC Den Bosch have scored away.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting FC Den Bosch 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 4-2-11 (win-draw-loss) from 17 matches.

Jong Ajax and FC Den Bosch should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
