National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's HV & CV Quick or De Graafschap that keep their silverware dream alive.
This field has artifical turf, which is not De Graafschap's everyday surface at their own stadium. When appearing on artifical turf De Graafschap have performed like this: Played 26 matches with the results 11 wins, 5 draws and 10 defeats with the goal difference 46-38 (scored/conceded).
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Eerste Divisie. That game, against MVV Maastricht, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for De Graafschap.
