After five games we know a little more about the qualities of ADO Den Haag and AZ Alkmaar in this fresh Eredivisie season. Read our match preview!
AZ Alkmaar could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Europa League game only three sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Napoli. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting AZ Alkmaar 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 6-3-2 (win-draw-loss) from eleven matches.

Luuk Koopmans had a busy but productive day in the Vitesse match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented.
