FC Den Bosch form and stats

The complete Eerste Divisie stats at home this season for FC Den Bosch are 7-2-8 (wins-draws-losses). We have seen two home losses in a row now for FC Den Bosch, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Happy days for Bosch in their previous game, a fixture away at Roda JC Kerkrade (placed 13th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Finally, a league win after four matches without. FC Den Bosch goalkeeper der Steen did an outstanding job against Roda JC Kerkrade with six saves, so vital to securing the victory. The goalie der Steen was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 8.43 out of ten. Steen saved a penalty and topped it up with a clean sheet.

Before that game, the home loss against Helmond Sport with the scoreline 1-2.

A decent goal production from FC Den Bosch in their home games so far, with 28 goals from 17 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Bosch defense is not exactly impregnable. 30 goals conceded from 17 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
