Player to watch: Oscar Fraulo
Oscar Fraulo scored the only goal in Utrecht's victory over NAC Breda last weekend. The former Midtjylland midfielder has had two direct goal involvements in his last two appearances, which is as many as he had in his first 15 league assignments. It will be interesting to see how Fraulo performs on Sunday afternoon.
