Competition: Netherlands Eredivisie
Date: Sat 14.September
Match begins: 17:45 (UTC)
Venue: Covebo Stadion - De Koel - (8000 seats)

The VVV-Venlo manager attacks this game with the team placed 12th so far. In the visitors dressing room FC Groningen and their manager D. Buijs are in 14th place before this match.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting FC Groningen 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 2-3-8 (win-draw-loss) from 13 matches.
