National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Sparta Nijkerk or NAC Breda that keep their silverware dream alive.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Derde Divisie: Zaterdag. That game was an away game at ONS Sneek, so at least Sparta Nijkerk are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting NAC Breda 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 5-4-9 (win-draw-loss) from 18 matches.
