It's early days in the Eerste Divisie and both FC Den Bosch and MVV Maastricht are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
FC Den Bosch and MVV Maastricht should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
FC Den Bosch form and stats
FC Den Bosch have only played one Eerste Divisie game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 6 wins, 6 draws and 3 defeats from 15 matches.
It's back home for Bosch, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating NAC Breda away with the result 1-0. J. Hornkamp found the net in that victory. Nobody expected Bosch to beat NAC Breda in the last match, but sometimes David beats Goliath. Ahead of that match, Bosch won a home game hosting FC Dordrecht (2-1).
FC Den Bosch has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 1 goal from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
MVV Maastricht form and stats
Four points from two away games for MVV Maastricht, meaning one draw and one victory in the Eerste Divisie so far.
MVV Maastricht play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Telstar (placed 9th). Preceding that, the 1-7 home loss versus SC Cambuur.
A new game in only three days for Maastricht, the Eerste Divisie home match versus FC Oss. Busy days.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, MVV Maastricht has managed 2 goals and let in 1 from 2 matches.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: six - zero - four (FC Den Bosch wins - draws - MVV Maastricht wins). As for goals, eight matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.Top Goalscorers
