✨ Prediction

In our view, De Graafschap will, in all likelihood, stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.

Conversely, Den Bosch could well find it tough to get shooting opportunities although we do see them scoring as well.

Accordingly, we see a pretty comfortable 3-1 victory for De Graafschap at full-time.
