SC Cambuur, who have the most conceded goals (66) in Eredivisie, have collected 16 points from their Eredivisie home games so far after 5-1-9.

SC Cambuur travelled for their previous game, a trip to SC Heerenveen that ended 3-3. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? The hometeam coach Haar made a successful contribution in the game against SC Heerenveen, bringing on Paulissen who scored the equalizer in the 3-3 draw.

Preceding that match was the home game against PSV that was lost 1-2.
