FC Twente is in the 5th league table position and will remain there regardless of what happens for the rest of the season. Rotterdam have already sealed their fate; they will finish in 6th place no matter what happens. 10-7-12 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Sparta Rotterdam when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 29 matches are 33-41 (scored/conceded).

It's no vacation for neither FC Twente nor Sparta Rotterdam 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.
