Match begins: 18:00 (UTC)
Venue: De Geusselt (10000 seats)

Game week two of the Eerste Divisie season and the participants have done their adjustments after the first game. Here's the MVV Maastricht - NAC Breda guide:

This football stadium has artifical turf, which is not NAC Breda's familiar surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf NAC Breda have performed like this: Played 23 matches earning 10 wins, 6 draws and 7 defeats with the goal difference 45-34 (scored/conceded).

This has all the signs of an appealing fixture with lots of fun and energy as both teams are well rested since they last played a game. Game on!

MVV Maastricht form and stats

The season before, MVV Maastricht's league results were 12 wins, 4 draws and 22 losses, providing 16th spot in the Eerste Divisie. Over these 38 matches they scored 43 goals and gave away 75. Appearing at home in the last season MVV Maastricht delivered 5-3-11 (win-draw-lost) with 22 goals and 37 conceded.

No payout for Maastricht in their previous match, an away game at Jong AZ that ended in defeat 1-3. MVV Maastricht's goalkeeper Matthys was extremely busy against Jong AZ, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning six saves. Blummel (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.61/10. Blummel hit five key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

A strong away win before that one, visiting FC Oss and winning 1-0.

The match schedule is unforgiving for MVV Maastricht as they have a new game in only four days, a Eerste Divisie match thankfully also at home. ADO Den Haag are visiting.

It was a Eredivisie Playoffs defeat before that one as the away game against ADO Den Haag wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting FC Oss in just four days.
