Eerste Divisie: Roda JC Kerkrade are ready for the visit of De Graafschap in what should be an entertaining football match. Here's a full preview!

Insights:
  • De Graafschap have the most clean sheets (13) in Eerste Divisie

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting De Graafschap 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 12-5-6 (win-draw-loss) from 23 matches.

It's no vacation for neither Roda JC Kerkrade nor De Graafschap as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
