Insights:
  • FC Den Bosch has the fewest points (1) away in Eerste Divisie

Volendam have less rest than FC Den Bosch in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Eerste Divisie game only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Excelsior.

FC Volendam form and stats

Overall Eerste Divisie stats at home this season for FC Volendam are 3-3-2 (wins-draw-losses). Volendam haven’t lost a league-game in twelve attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus NEC, 86 days ago. Volendam have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

FC Den Bosch form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for FC Den Bosch, who have the fewest points (1) away in Eerste Divisie, so far with only 1 point returning home. The records show 0-1-6 (win-draw-lose). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Bosch, who have now gone eleven games without a victory. The MVV Maastricht game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Bosch are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Bosch's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus NEC that finished 2-2. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against SC Cambuur wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.

As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking FC Den Bosch's match history for similar games we find one match. The home team won one of these as expected, one of them by at least two goals. Bosch managed zero draws and zero surprise wins.

The attacking power of FC Den Bosch when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 7 league matches away. FC Den Bosch are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 5 goals in these matches.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: five wins for Volendam, three draws and two wins for FC Den Bosch. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
