The hosts have had poor league finishes in the Eerste Divisie for years now, with sixth place the club’s highest finish since 1993/’94. The club has not featured in this competition since 2008/’09. |

Meanwhile, Graafschap averaged 3.3 overall (22/38 games with over 2.5 goals). In contradiction, however, the home side won each of the fixtures in the regular season by a single goal. |
