A strong away win for Graafschap against Helmond Sport the last match, as Neghli (2), Heertum and Onal were on target. As mentioned above, De Graafschap "killed" Helmond Sport in their previous game.

The defender Heertum scored one goal, served one assist, hit one key pass and won 3 of 3 duels.

Preceding that match was a defeat to FC Oss (1-2).

Jong PSV form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Jong PSV so far with only 16 points returning home. The records show 4-4-10 (win-draw-lose).

There were no winners in Jong PSV's previous match, the home game that ended 2-2 vs MVV Maastricht (placed 19th). It looked so good for Jong PSV vs MVV Maastricht, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw. Midfield player Thomas was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.75/10. Thomas served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 4 of 5 times.

Before that, Jong travelled to ADO Den Haag and returned home with a draw after the game finished 2-2.
