Jong Ajax form and stats

Jong Ajax have played 5 Eerste Divisie games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).

A strong away win for Jong Ajax against Almere City the last match, as Lucca, Rasmussen and Martha were on target. Sweet to taste a league win after three games without. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Heitinga when Martha scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 61st minute. Midfielder Fitz-Jim was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.65 (out of ten) in that game. Fitz-Jim signed up for two assists, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 48 successful passes (of 52 total).

Ahead of that match, Jong Ajax lost 0-1 at home to Helmond Sport.

Jong are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (13 goals in 5 games). Jong Ajax are not conceding a lot of goals here at Sportpark De Toekomst in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 5 matches.

VVV-Venlo form and stats

3-0-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for VVV-Venlo in their Eerste Divisie matches away.

Two away matches in a row for VVV-Venlo, whose coach Kruijs could celebrate last time after the KNVB Beker win against Dongen.

Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus FC Dordrecht.

Sports betting fact: Both teams have scored goal(s) in 8 of this club's last 10 league matches.

After this away game VVV-Venlo return home for a Eerste Divisie game against Jong AZ. That game is only four sleeps after this.

The VVV-Venlo manager Kruijs has some worries about the defense as 12 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head numbers (for the previous ten meetings): Jong Ajax won five games, one match ended in a draw and VVV-Venlo managed four wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: nine / one.
