Bosch faced defeat in their previous match, away at Roda JC Kerkrade (1-2).

Before that, Bosch played out a Eerste Divisie draw 3-3 when visiting FC Dordrecht.

This is expected to be a close game, with Bosch perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.

Jong Utrecht form and stats

The visitors are W2-D3-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Eerste Divisie.

Utrecht had fun at their own home (Stadion De Vliert) last time out, beating FC Oss 2-1. Rayan El Azrak and Nick Venema scored. Utrecht goalie Fabian De Keijzer was high and low in the FC Oss game, contributing six saves towards the victory. Nick Venema came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against FC Oss last time out, making the manager D. Kalezić feel like a tactical genius. Fabian De Keijzer was the team player of the game with the player rating of 8.31. The agile goalkeeper Keijzer saved a penalty and stopped the opponent with six saves.

A 1-2 loss hosting Roda JC Kerkrade before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Jong Utrecht playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were two Jong Utrecht wins, one draw and two defeats.

Jong Utrecht are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 10 times in 6 away games so far. As opposed to that, Utrecht have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.
