FC Dordrecht form and stats

When playing at home in the Eerste Divisie, FC Dordrecht, who have the the worst goal difference (-25) in Eerste Divisie, have managed 1 win, 2 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 5 games. Dordrecht has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager H. van den Ham and the players.

FC Dordrecht faced defeat in their previous match, away at FC Eindhoven (1-5). Ahead of that match, Dordrecht lost 0-3 at home to Jong Utrecht.

As you see from the result above, Dordrecht suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Dordrecht's goalkeeper Anthony Swolfs was extremely busy against FC Eindhoven, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning seven saves.

The Dordrecht fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 5 in 5 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 8 goals have been conceded.
