It's game two of the Eerste Divisie season and everything to play for. Read our full preview!

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Jong Ajax form and stats

The fans are hoping that Jong Ajax will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Eerste Divisie game against TOP Oss. Preceding that match was the home game against FC Twente that was lost 2-5.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Jong Ajax's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played two games, won 1 match, drawn 0 and lost 1.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Jong Ajax as they are travelling to their away game against FC Dordrecht in the Eerste Divisie. That match is four days after this one.

Last season, Jong Ajax's league statistics were 16 wins, 8 draws and 14 losses, resulting in a 11th position in the Eerste Divisie. Over these 38 matches they scored 81 goals and conceded 67. Playing at home last season Jong Ajax managed 10-4-5 (win-draw-lost) with 48 goals and 32 conceded.

NEC form and stats

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Eerste Divisie home defeat versus FC Eindhoven with 1-2 on the scoreboard. A 0-3 defeat away at RKC Waalwijk before that.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of NEC when being an outsider away as they are today, we find one match with the visitors losing 1 time, drawing 0 and winning 0 games.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the NEC manager as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Roda JC Kerkrade.

Let's have a look at how NEC performed last season in the Eerste Divisie: They landed a 9th position in the league table after playing out 16 victories, 10 draws and 12 defeats. In total they scored 73 and conceded 60 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 6 - drew 5 and lost 8 with 29/36 goals scored/conceded.

Head 2 Head

Last six meetings between the teams: Jong Ajax won 3, NEC won 2 and 1 draw. 4 games with over 2,5 goals, 2 matches with two goals or less.
