Jong PSV form and stats

The Eerste Divisie season is young and Jong PSV have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far. Jong seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Jong failed to get anything from their last game, a Eerste Divisie home match vs ADO Den Haag (placed 9th) that ended with defeat 0-1. Midfield player Emmanuel Matuta was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.11/10. Matuta dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 67 successful passes (of 83 total).

Prior to that match, the Jong manager R. van Nistelrooy faced defeat when travelling to Jong Utrecht and losing 1-2.

Jong PSV are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, two draws and five defeats. From a total of eight matches.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Jong PSV as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Jong have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last six meetings: three - two - one (Excelsior wins - draws - Jong PSV wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.
