After the first set of fixtures it's Roda JC Kerkrade - Jong Ajax 3-1 in points. Who will achieve victory in this second Eerste Divisie match of the season?

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Jong Ajax 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 6-6-11 (win-draw-loss) from 23 matches.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Eerste Divisie game only four days ago.
