• Kampong won the last two matches with HDM, after having lost four in a row against the team from The Hague before that.
   
• On its own pitch, Kampong has been waiting for six matches for a win against HDM (L L L D L L). Kampong's last home victory over HDM was on 4 March 2018, when it finished 3-1 at the Klapperboom.
   
• Kampong won three of its last four matches (L1, 0-1 SCHC) and scored as many as 18 goals in those three wins.
   
• HDM lost its last five matches in the Hoofdklasse since a 1-2 win on the Rotterdam pitch.
   
• Sosha Benninga has already scored 15 goals for the Utrechters since her switch from Amsterdam to Kampong in the summer of 2023, but remarkably, they all fell in away games. So the striker is still waiting for her first goal for Kampong in a home game.
