One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting FC Emmen 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 5-6-7 (win-draw-loss) from 18 matches.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
