AFC have layed the groundwork for this game after their 1-3 result against Katwijk, a game that made them wiser. Will they show it against Koninklijke HFC?

Insights:
  • AFC have the fewest conceded goals (21) in Tweede Divisie

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.
