FC Dordrecht form and stats

The manager H. van den Ham is not happy with the away performances in the Eerste Divisie so far, as all 5 matches have been lost. It's all red in the travel logs of Dordrecht, having lost five matches in a row as the visiting team.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Eerste Divisie home defeat versus Jong Utrecht with 0-3 on the scoreboard. A 2-4 loss hosting FC Utrecht before that.

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

FC Dordrecht are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 5 away games. The FC Dordrecht defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 20 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

FC Eindhoven-FC Dordrecht H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Eindhoven four wins, FC Dordrecht four wins, two draws. six of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
