Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

5-5-13 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for FC Dordrecht when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those 23 matches are 31-69 (scored/conceded).

Jong AZ, who have the most conceded goals (82) in Eerste Divisie, have played 16 Eerste Divisie games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-3-8 (wins-draws-losses). Two home wins in a row for Jong bring valid hopes of a third.

The Jong AZ supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host FC Den Bosch in Eerste Divisie and win 2-1. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Helmond Sport (0-2).

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

FC Dordrecht form and stats

There's been little loot from FC Dordrecht's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 16 away games in the Eerste Divisie. FC Dordrecht, who have the fewest scored goals (33) in Eerste Divisie, only have 4 wins to counter their 12 defeats and 0 draws.

Dordrecht failed to get anything from their last game, a Eerste Divisie home match vs FC Eindhoven (placed 16th) that ended with defeat 1-5. Before that one, a nice away victory 3-0 at De Graafschap.

Dordrecht lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-5 beating and focus on this one.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting FC Den Bosch in just four days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting FC Dordrecht as they have only managed to score 15 times from 16 away games in the league.
