Jong Ajax form and stats

A Eerste Divisie draw at home so far for Jong Ajax. Last season their home statistics were 12 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats from 19 matches.

Jong faced defeat in their previous match, away at Roda JC Kerkrade (0-1). The first setback in the shape of a loss after going undefeated in three league games.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Telstar that ended 1-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Jong Ajax perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Jong Ajax as a small favourite), we find 4 games. Jong Ajax has won 2 of these, drawn 1 and lost 1.

At Sportpark De Toekomst, Jong Ajax has the goal stats of 1-1 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.

De Graafschap form and stats

The visitors are W0-D0-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Eerste Divisie.

De Graafschap have a lot to to correct after their surprise loss (1-2) to VVV-Venlo in their previous game, played at their own home ground. Midfield player Neghli was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.13/10. Neghli scored one goal, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against PEC Zwolle wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

A new game in only four days for Graafschap, the Eerste Divisie home match versus FC Dordrecht. Busy days.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, De Graafschap has managed 1 goal and let in 2 from 1 match.

Head 2 Head

Jong Ajax have won at least one point in the last 4 matches (1-3-0) versus De Graafschap.

The games between these clubs have sometimes been hot-tempered, having seen 5 sending-offs from the last ten encounters.
