With thirty points from 24 games, ADO Den Haag has played itself as good as safe ten rounds of play before the end of the league. The difference with number 16 Excelsior is already eleven points and number last SC Cambuur is already on a margin of seventeen points. The Hague can therefore work towards the remainder of the league in a relaxed manner.
Away team
In the last ten away games it has played, ADO has scored at least once each time. The Hague side is doing well away from home anyway. Better than at home, anyway. In their own Kyocera Stadium, coach Henk Fraser's team took thirteen points against seventeen on foreign soil. One of the points it gained at home was against PSV. Goalkeeper Martin Hansen miraculously scored with the heel and deep in injury time ensured the first points loss this season.
Edouard Duplan
Of all ADO players, Edouard Duplan played the most often against PSV, fourteen times already. Duplan is therefore in his tenth season in Dutch professional football. The French striker made the move from Clermont in the Ligue 2 in his homeland to RBC Roosendaal in the summer of 2006. Duplan began his second season still in West Brabant, but left after four games for premier league side Sparta Rotterdam. He had three good years at Het Kasteel before making the move to FC Utrecht. A transfer to ADO Den Haag followed last summer, where he is currently the king of assists. Duplan has already given nine assists this season, the most of any player in the Eredivisie.
