This match features two teams living in the basement of the Eerste Divisie, FC Dordrecht holding 20th place and Jong Utrecht lying 19th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

FC Dordrecht form and stats

1 victory, 2 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what FC Dordrecht, who have the the worst goal difference (-18) in Eerste Divisie, have to build on here at Riwal Hoogwerkers Stadion in the Eerste Divisie.

The Dordrecht fans got no joy from their last match, a KNVB Beker game also here at Riwal Hoogwerkers Stadion: A 2-4 defeat against FC Utrecht. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting FC Volendam (1-7).

As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Anthony Swolfs had a busy but productive day in the FC Utrecht match. Despite making ten saves the loss could not be prevented.

Dordrecht has scored 5 league goals at home this season, in 4 matches. On the other hand, Dordrecht have conceded 5 goals.

Jong Utrecht form and stats

2-0-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Jong Utrecht in their Eerste Divisie matches away.

There might be some fixture complaints from Utrecht as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Eerste Divisie match against Jong Ajax (2-3). Preceding that, the 1-4 home loss versus NEC.

It's a bit worrying for Utrecht that their goalkeeper Maarten Paes made eight saves in the Jong Ajax game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.

With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Utrecht are regular goalscorers on their travels. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Utrecht's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 10 goals in 4 travels.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last eight meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Dordrecht, two draws and three wins for Jong Utrecht. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: three games.
