Jong AZ form and stats

6-3-9 (win-draw-lost) are the Eerste Divisie numbers at home for Jong AZ, who have the most conceded goals (45) at home in Eerste Divisie, so far this season.

A strong away win for Jong AZ against Roda JC Kerkrade the last match, as Yusuf Barasi were on target. Nobody expected Jong to beat Roda JC Kerkrade in the last match, but sometimes David beats Goliath. Ahead of that match, Jong lost 2-4 at home to SC Cambuur.

The Jong manager M. Vonk has got the team scoring with 36 from 18 home games in the league. As for conceded goals, Jong's unpleasant statistic is 45 goals surrendered. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Excelsior form and stats

6 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses. That’s the product of Excelsior playing as the away team in the Eerste Divisie this season.

Impressive finishing from Reuven Niemeijer and Elías Már Ómarsson (2) secured the home win 3-0 against FC Dordrecht in their previous game. Ahead of that match was the victory versus NAC Breda at their stadium, the result 2-1.

The 3-0 victory against FC Dordrecht could easily have been bigger as the victors made a valiant effort at breaking the goal posts, hitting them three times.

Excelsior are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 29 times in 18 away games so far. As for defending, Excelsior rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 33 goals from these away matches.
