The season is still fairly new and the Eerste Divisie table has to be read with caution. So far Jong AZ find themselves in 13th position and MVV Maastricht are placed 7th.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
