De Graafschap have delivered really well so far, being 2nd position in the table. FC Eindhoven can look both direction in the table from their 8th position.

Insights:
  • All of De Graafschap's matches have had more than 1,5 goals.
  • FC Eindhoven have won significantly more corners away than at home.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting FC Eindhoven have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 5-2-12 (win-draw-loss) from 19 matches.

FC Eindhoven form and stats

The visitors are W1-D0-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Eerste Divisie. Bitter travels for Eindhoven as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the FC Emmen match.

A 0-2 defeat away at Roda JC Kerkrade before that.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where FC Eindhoven played away with similar odds. This revealed three games. The visitors overcame the odds to win one time, zero were draws and the home team won as expected two times.

Eindhoven find the net regularly in their away games. 5 goals from 5 away fixtures in the league. The Eindhoven manager R. Penders has some worries about the defense as 10 goals have been conceded in these travels.
