Barendrecht's Tweede Divisie form reads 8 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses from 20 games, with 36 scored and 41 conceded, a much bumpier ride overall. They've won three of their last four though, including a 4-1 away win and a 1-0 cup victory over HHC.

Waalwijk's high draw count shows they're far from invincible, even against lower-division opposition.

What could shape this cup tie

This is a knockout match, so league form only tells part of the story. Barendrecht already have some cup pedigree this season, having beaten HHC 1-0 in an earlier round, and they'll fancy their chances of another result on home soil.

Waalwijk, despite playing a level higher, have shown they can be got at, with four league losses this season and a 2-0 defeat just last time out. Cup ties against lower-division sides often throw up surprises, and neither team's recent record rules that out here.
