Jong Utrecht form and stats

Jong Utrecht have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Eerste Divisie, after 2-3-9 (14 played). A depressing four defeats in a row for Jong Utrecht in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus MVV Maastricht.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Eerste Divisie home defeat versus NEC with 1-2 on the scoreboard. That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus FC Volendam.

Late heartbreak for Jong Utrecht in the NEC match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.

Jong Utrecht have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 14 league away games 14 goals have been scored. In the opposite end, Jong Utrecht have conceded 27 goals in their away games.
