Jong Ajax form and stats

Jong Ajax have less points than they have played home games in the Eerste Divisie so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 0 points. The Jong Ajax manager J. Heitinga might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

Jong faced defeat in their previous match, away at Jong PSV (1-3). The forward Naci Ünüvar bettered all others in that game and received a match rating of 7.15 out of 10. Ünüvar served one assist and hit one key pass.

Ahead of that match, Jong Ajax lost 1-2 at home to Excelsior.

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 one game. Jong Ajax has won zero of these, drawn one and lost zero.

Jong are traveling soon after this match as the Eerste Divisie match at Almere City awaits in four days.

At Sportpark De Toekomst, Jong Ajax has the goal stats of 2-4 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

NAC Breda form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Eerste Divisie for NAC Breda with 2 draws and 1 loss from their first 3 attempts.

The NAC Breda goalkeeper Nick Olij is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 180 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Breda are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 0-0 draw at Roda JC Kerkrade (placed 12th). Midfield player Thom Haye was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.11/10. Haye hit one key pass, dribled passed the opponent 4 of 5 times and had 56 successful passes (of 61 total).

That result followed a home victory 3-0 versus ADO Den Haag.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with NAC Breda playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were zero Breda wins, three draws and three defeats.

After this away game NAC Breda return home for a Eerste Divisie game against FC Emmen. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Breda as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. 4 goals have been conceded by Breda in these games.

Head 2 Head

Statistics for the prior eight meetings featuring these two squads are: three wins for Jong Ajax, one draw and four wins for NAC Breda. Over 2,5 goals: seven times; under 2,5 goals: one game.
