Enjoying a 2 point edge in the league standings, Spakenburg club members yearn to see their team win full points from this game against IJsselmeervogels.

Insights:
  • Spakenburg have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored at home.
  • IJsselmeervogels have failed to keep a clean sheet in all their away matches.

These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
