Top match in Eindhoven with playoff ticket in mind

DEN BOSCH - KLEIN ZWITSERLAND
Saturday, 16:30

• The balance in the last five encounters is neatly balanced: two wins for Den Bosch and two for KZ (D1).

• Den Bosch lost only one of its last 15 league matches (2-1 at Amsterdam on 17 November 2024). For the rest: ten wins and four draws.
   
• KZ came out of the winter break fine with two wins: 0-2 at Hurley and 3-2 against Bloemendaal.
   
• Den Bosch defender Timo Boers (photo below) is still three goals away from equalling his personal record in one season. He already made 15 this season. Last season, the Oranje international finished on eighteen goals in league play.

• Oranje-Rood won only two of the eight away duels with Kampong (D1 L5).

Sunday, 14:45

• Pinoké won the only mutual match between the two teams so far. It was 1-5 in Nijmegen at the end of September, including three goals from Miles Bukkens.
