The story so far for the visiting team on their Eerste Divisie travels is 5 wins, 4 draws and 7 defeats.

FC Eindhoven go into this game after a win, the home game against PEC Zwolle that ended 4-2. Those three points felt nice as this side had gone three league games without winning.

Attacker Brym got a player rating of 9.24 in the game. "Man of the match" Brym scored two goals, served one assist, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 5 of 5 times.

Preceding that game, the 2-3 loss visiting MVV Maastricht's place.
