Competition: Netherlands Eredivisie
Date: Sat 24.August
Match begins: 17:45 (UTC)
Venue: Polman Stadion (13500 seats)

The Eredivisie league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. These two teams are placed 15th and 3rd respectively.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Vitesse have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 6-3-3 (win-draw-loss) from twelve matches.
