FC Den Bosch form and stats
FC Den Bosch have played three Eerste Divisie home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. It's trouble wherever Bosch are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.
Bosch are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus VVV-Venlo. The forward Roy Kuijpers bettered all teammates in that game and was awarded a match rating of 7.35 out of 10. Kuijpers scored one goal and dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Preceding that match was the home game against Excelsior that was lost 0-5.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how FC Den Bosch have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won two, drawn one and lost four.
