FC Den Bosch form and stats
When playing at home in the Eerste Divisie, FC Den Bosch have managed 2 wins, 4 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 9 games. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 14 attempts. Bosch are slowly digging their own grave here at Stadion De Vliert with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the MVV Maastricht match.
The fans are hoping that Bosch will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the Eerste Divisie game against Jong Utrecht (placed 12th). Before that, Bosch drew at home versus FC Eindhoven.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

There will be little rest for Bosch after this match as they are travelling to Helmond Sport for a Eerste Divisie game in only four days.

Jong AZ form and stats
There's been little loot from Jong AZ's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 9 away games in the Eerste Divisie. Jong AZ only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 0 draws.
Home advantage was not enough for Jong AZ in their previous game, as they lost their Eerste Divisie-match, hosting Roda JC Kerkrade, 0-1. A 2-2 draw was the result before that, hosting Helmond Sport.
It's a bit worrying for Jong that their goalkeeper Sem Westerveld made eight saves in the Roda JC Kerkrade game last time out, but still couldn't prevent the loss.
We have checked recent matches where Jong have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those five games were one victory, zero draws and four defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Jong are hosting Almere City in the Eerste Divisie only four days away.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Jong as they have only managed to score 7 times from 9 away games in the league. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Jong concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.
