The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Eredivisie this season. ADO Den Haag, who have the fewest scored goals (21) in Eredivisie, have only managed 0 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses from their games here at Cars Jeans Stadion. All in all it has been a very rough period for Haag who hasn’t won a league-game in their last twelve attempts. Their previous win was against RKC Waalwijk, 84 days ago. With 13 home Eredivisie games in a row without a win, the Haag fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the FC Groningen game long ago, can be stopped today.

In their previous game, the manager R. Brood led his Haag to a defeat in the Eredivisie match away at Ajax. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Cars Jeans Stadion. Ahead of that match, Haag lost 1-2 at home to Heracles.

Haag were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

Haag aren't scoring a lot here at Cars Jeans Stadion in the league, with only 12 goals from 13 games. Haag have conceded 25 from these games.
