Perhaps a welcome break from league football as SteDoCo & FC Utrecht face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the KNVB Beker. All the pre-match information is available here!
FC Utrecht could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Eredivisie game only three sleeps ago.
SteDoCo form and stats
SteDoCo was eliminated in the 2nd preliminary round last season in the KNVB Beker.Happy days for SteDoCo in their previous game, a Derde Divisie: Zaterdag match away at ODIN '59 that ended with a 2-1 victory.
Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against DOVO.The match schedule is unforgiving for SteDoCo as they have a new game in only four days, a Derde Divisie: Zaterdag match thankfully also at home. ACV are visiting.
FC Utrecht form and stats
Utrecht was sent out of KNVB Beker in the 2nd round last season.Playing away, FC Utrecht have won 2 games, drawn 1 and suffered 2 defeats in the Eredivisie this season.
Utrecht are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the Eredivisie against SC Heerenveen. Utrecht goalie Maarten Paes was high and low in the SC Heerenveen game, contributing six saves towards the victory. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager R. Hake when Sander van de Streek scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 64th minute. Maarten Paes (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 8.3. Paes stopped the opponent with six saves.
It was a Eredivisie defeat before that one as the away game against AZ wasn't a success with a 1-5 loss.Again, the away team are huge favourites in this match and any other result would be an upset.
