Home team gets the points, the away team steals the points or a tactical 0-0 draw? Anything can happen when the mid-table teams Jong AZ and Jong PSV clash at AFAS Trainingscomplex.
- Jong AZ have the fewest matches over the total-line (3) in Eerste Divisie
- Jong PSV is in the worst form (0-1-5)
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Jong PSV have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 5-6-15 (win-draw-loss) from 26 matches.
Jong AZ and Jong PSV should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Jong AZ form and stats
6 victories, 3 draws and 6 defeats. That’s what Jong AZ have to build on here at AFAS Trainingscomplex in the Eerste Divisie.
A good away victory last time out for Jong AZ, who won 1-0 against Jong Utrecht (placed 19th). The goalie Verhulst was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 7.82 out of ten. Verhulst topped it up with a clean sheet.
A strong away win before that one, visiting MVV Maastricht and winning 3-2.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Jong have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won five, drawn three and lost one.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Jong AZ as they have a new game in only three days, a Eerste Divisie match thankfully also at home. Roda JC Kerkrade are visiting.
The Jong AZ fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 15 matches. 19 goals have been conceded.
Jong PSV form and stats
There's been little loot from Jong PSV's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 14 away games in the Eerste Divisie. Jong PSV only have 3 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 3 draws. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Nistelrooy, the Jong manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
Jong PSV's last game was the home draw against Roda JC Kerkrade (3-3). Midfield player Saibari was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.4/10. Saibari scored two goals, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 4 times and had 21 successful passes (of 24 total).
Prior to that match, the Jong manager Nistelrooy faced defeat when travelling to FC Den Bosch and losing 2-3.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Jong PSV playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were two Jong PSV wins, two draws and three defeats.
A new game in only three days for Jong PSV, the Eerste Divisie home match versus FC Volendam. Busy days.
Jong PSV are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 20 away goals from 14 games (in the league). Jong's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 27 goals from these trips.
