Jong AZ form and stats

With 4 Eerste Divisie wins, 3 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Jong AZ, who have the most conceded goals (81) in Eerste Divisie, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Jong AZ are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 201 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by K. Goudmijn).

The fans are hoping that Jong will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Eerste Divisie game against Helmond Sport (placed 9th). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Jong PSV (0-3).

Mees Bakker had a busy but productive day in the Helmond Sport match. Despite making seven saves the loss could not be prevented.

A decent goal production from Jong in their home games so far, with 28 goals from 15 league matches. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Jong have allowed the opposition to score 40 goals here at AFAS Trainingscomplex.

FC Den Bosch form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for FC Den Bosch, who have the fewest points (5) away in Eerste Divisie, so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-12 (win-draw-lose).

Bosch go into this game after a win, the home game against TOP Oss that ended 1-0. Preceding that match was the 3-3 draw at home vs Go Ahead Eagles.

Late drama in the previous game, when Jizz Hornkamp scored the winning goal three minutes into stoppage time to defeat TOP Oss.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting SC Cambuur in just four days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Bosch as they have only managed to score 13 times from 15 away games in the league. The FC Den Bosch defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 45 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

FC Den Bosch - Jong AZ 1-2 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Numbers for the last seven meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Jong, three draws and two wins for FC Den Bosch. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: two games.
