The visiting De Treffers side should be favourites in this visit to Excelsior Maassluis, as the away team holds a 7 point advantage from their 15 league games this season.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting De Treffers 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 5-3-4 (win-draw-loss) from twelve matches.
