- 47' SC Cambuur-Leeuwarden has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 1 meetings.
- 52' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Doke Schmidt suffering a number of foals already.
- 57' Robin Maulun is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for AZ tonight.

- 90' Tamas Kiss is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
