De Graafschap got relegated from Eredivisie last season but their boat continued to sink. Their performances are forgetable and especially on the travels where they are by far the worst team. They have played exciting games at home though where they have 5-1-5 and 27:21 goal difference.Still it has been a while since we saw a good performance by De Graafschap. All 4 matches after the break were lost with 4 goals scored and 12 conceded. At home they were demolished by Den Bosch with 0:3. Cambuur has had an awakening when the duo of Sipke Hulshoff and Arne Slot was appointed. They have become a team that never gives up and fight for every ball. They were given confidence they haven`t had before. Cambuur has been in form for a long time now and have shown their strenght even against the Eredivisie teams. They managed to eliminate Ajax and Ultrecht from the cup and have 4-1-1 in the last 6 league games. They also won in 3 of the last 4 away games improwing their away stats significantly. They beat Emmen 0:1, Telstar 0:3 and PSV II 0:2 while took a draw vs Waalwijk 2:2. They have definitely tightened in defense. Cambuur holds the last promotion play-off place with only a point to spare and will have to keep grinding it out. The hosts wil miss the defender Kevin van Diermen(1-0) while Cambur unfortunately will have more serious missings. Sander van de Streek (mid.21-12), Xander Houtkoop(att.17-1), Djavan Anderson(def.17-1) are absent today. Sander van de Streek is definitely a big absence but on the other hand he has been out for the last 3 matches. Cambuur has scored 8 goals and won 2 matches while have drawn with Ultrech away. Cambuur is a team in form and has much bigger motivation today. They have enough quality to take the 3 points from De Graafchap.
