Jong AZ form and stats

With 2 Eerste Divisie wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Jong AZ, who have the most conceded goals (63) in Eerste Divisie, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Jong lost their last game at FC Oss (placed 12th) after a 0-6 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Jong won a home game hosting FC Eindhoven (3-2).

Jong were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

A decent goal production from Jong in their home games so far, with 21 goals from 11 league matches. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Jong have allowed the opposition to score 31 goals here at AFAS Trainingscomplex.

Jong Utrecht form and stats

4-1-6 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Jong Utrecht in their Eerste Divisie matches away. Three has not been a lucky number for Utrecht as they have been defeated three times in a row since the MVV Maastricht match. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Jong Utrecht are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Utrecht, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus NEC (placed 6th). Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Roda JC Kerkrade's place.

It's a bit worrying for Utrecht that their goalkeeper Thijmen Nijhuis made seven saves in the NEC game last time out, but still couldn't prevent the loss.

The travelling fans enjoy Jong Utrecht's attacking play in away games, having scored 17 goals in 11 league matches away. Utrecht have conceded 22 goals in these games.
