FC Dordrecht form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Eerste Divisie this season. FC Dordrecht, who have the most conceded goals (54) in Eerste Divisie, have only managed 1 win, 4 draws and 6 losses from their games here at Riwal Hoogwerkers Stadion. With seven home games in a row without a win, the FC Dordrecht fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the NEC game long ago, can be stopped today.
FC Dordrecht lost their last game at Jong Ajax (placed 1st) after a 0-2 scoreline. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Excelsior.

It could be relevant to look at how FC Dordrecht have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won 2 Drawn 4 Lost 3.
