FC Den Bosch form and stats

With 2 Eerste Divisie wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, FC Den Bosch are certainly not brimming with confidence. All in all it has been a very rough period for Bosch who hasn’t won a league-game in their last 16 attempts. Their previous win was against MVV Maastricht, 122 days ago. With eight home Eerste Divisie games in a row without a win, the Bosch fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the MVV Maastricht game long ago, can be stopped today.

FC Den Bosch lost their last game at Helmond Sport (placed 14th) after a 0-4 scoreline. Preceding that match was a defeat to Jong AZ (1-2).

As you see from the result above, Bosch suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Wouter Van der Steen had a busy but productive day in the Helmond Sport match. Despite making eight saves the loss could not be prevented.

The Bosch fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 10 matches. On the other hand, Bosch have conceded 14 goals.
