Despite their strong league position, they've lost three of their last four matches across all competitions, including a surprising 2-4 home defeat to NEC Nijmegen and a 1-2 loss at GO Ahead Eagles. However, their attacking prowess remains evident with 2.20 goals scored per game and a 50% away win rate. Their 7-0 demolition of Heracles demonstrates their explosive potential.
