A bottom-of-the-table clash in the Eerste Divisie where both De Graafschap and Jong FC Utrecht need points to escape the lower reaches of the table. The hosts sit 19th with 8 points, while the visitors are bottom on 7 points, just a single point apart. De Graafschap have just drawn 2-2 at home in their latest match, and before that they ground out a narrow home win, while Jong FC Utrecht have just lost 1-3 at home and head into this away game under pressure. Both teams have leaky defences, especially late in games where De Graafschap often concede. This game should be open from the start, because both sides need points and neither has a defence solid enough to shut the door. Jong FC Utrecht are likely to sit back and wait for counter-attacking chances, using the pace of their forwards against a home side that has to push forward for a result.
