De Graafschap form and stats
3 victories, 3 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what De Graafschap have to build on here at Stadion De Vijverberg in the Eerste Divisie.
Graafschap are returning here after visiting FC Dordrecht in a Eerste Divisie game and winning with a 4-0 scoreline. Danzell Gravenberch, Philip Brittijn, Joey Konings and Jasper Van Heertum scored the goal(s). As mentioned above, De Graafschap "killed" FC Dordrecht in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. Julian Lelieveld, defender, was given a rating of 8.31/10 in that game, top of the team. Lelieveld served one assist, hit two key passes and won 5 of 7 duels.
Before that, De Graafschap drew at home versus Telstar.The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from De Graafschap's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played five games, won three matches, drawn one and lost one.
Graafschap are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 8 games. Graafschap's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 10 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Jong Ajax form and stats
As the visiting team in Eerste Divisie matches, Jong Ajax have produced an overall stat of 4-1-3 so far. Jong love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.
Jong Ajax are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the Eerste Divisie against Roda JC Kerkrade (placed 9th). Jong goalie Jay Gorter was high and low in the Roda JC Kerkrade game, contributing six saves towards the victory. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager J. Heitinga when Amourricho van Axel-Dongen scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 81st minute. Jay Gorter was the team player of the game with the player rating of 7.8. The agile goalkeeper Gorter saved a penalty and stopped the opponent with six saves.
Ahead of that game was the 4-4 draw at home against FC Volendam.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Jong playing away, we found three games. Results were zero away wins, two draws and one home win.
The Jong manager J. Heitinga has got the team scoring on the road, with 16 away goals in 8 league matches. Jong's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 15 goals from these trips.
