• Oranje-Rood won two of the last 17 regular league games and suffered eight defeats in that series.
   
• Oranje-Rood lost its last three away games and did not score: 1-0 Rotterdam, 5-0 SCHC and 2-0 Pinoké. Never before has Oranje-Rood failed to score four away matches in a row.

• Den Bosch is now 57 league games in a row without defeat (W48 D9) since the 2-0 defeat at Amsterdam on 18 September 2022. That run is a record in Hoofdklasse history.
