MVV Maastricht host De Graafschap for another entertaining Eerste Divisie match here at De Geusselt.

Insights:
  • MVV Maastricht have won all their matches at home so far.
  • All of De Graafschap's away-matches have had more than 1,5 goals.

This pitch has the surface artifical turf, unlike De Graafschap's home stadium. The last 26 games by the away team on artifical turf have produced 10 wins, 5 draws and 11 losses.

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.
