Only a few games have been played in the Eerste Divisie so far, with Go Ahead Eagles placed 14th and Jong Utrecht sitting in the 19th position.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Go Ahead Eagles form and stats
The home fans saw their team lose the first Eerste Divisie game of the season here at De Adelaarshorst. Last season these fans witnessed 7 wins, 7 draws and 1 loss from Go Ahead Eagles's 15 home games.
Eagles's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-3 versus Jong Ajax (placed 18th). In the game before, an away victory match versus SC Cambuur with a 2-0 scoreline.
The penalty miss from Jeroen Veldmate in the defeat against Jong Ajax was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Go Ahead Eagles at home in the league. 0 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Jong Utrecht form and stats
Things could have gone better for Jong Utrecht in their Eerste Divisie away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right. Three has not been a lucky number for Utrecht as they have been defeated three times in a row since the FC Volendam match.
Two away games in a row for Utrecht, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 2-5 versus SC Cambuur in the Eerste Divisie. A 0-2 loss hosting NAC Breda before that.
As you can tell from the result, the match against SC Cambuur was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?
Jong Utrecht have the goal stats of 3-5 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last six matches): Eagles four wins, one draw and Jong Utrecht one victory. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
