FC Dordrecht form and stats

FC Dordrecht's struggle is real here at Riwal Hoogwerkers Stadion with only 5 points collected from 6 Eerste Divisie games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-2-3. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Dordrecht with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Almere City game, 40 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Dordrecht, their manager H. van den Ham and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Dordrecht are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 224 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by K. Vermeulen).

Dordrecht lost their last game at Telstar (placed 9th) after a 0-2 scoreline. Preceding that match was the home game against Graafschap that was lost 0-2.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Dordrecht here at Riwal Hoogwerkers Stadion in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (5 from 6 games). With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Dordrecht defense is not exactly impregnable. 10 goals conceded from 6 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
