Jong AZ form and stats

4-1-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Eerste Divisie numbers at home for Jong AZ so far this season.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 232 minutes without scoring a league goal. E. Poku was the last player to find the net.

Jong are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Jong PSV. Midfielder Zico Buurmeester was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.02 (out of ten) in that game. Buurmeester dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 35 successful passes (of 39 total).

Preceding that match was a defeat to FC Volendam (0-1).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Jong AZ have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won one time, drawn three and lost one.

Jong are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 7 games. Jong have only conceded 6 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

MVV Maastricht form and stats

MVV Maastricht have only collected 3 points from their away games in the Eerste Divisie, after 1-0-5 (6 played). It's all red in the travel logs of Maastricht, having lost five matches in a row as the visiting team.

Two travels in a row for Maastricht, whose manager K. Wels could celebrate last time after the KNVB Beker win against ACV. M. Remans certainly enjoyed MVV Maastricht's last game versus ACV, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 3-0 victory.

It was a Eerste Divisie defeat before that one as the away game against NAC Breda wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.

Maastricht are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, two draws and six defeats. From a total of nine matches.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Maastricht's away games in the league this season with only 3 goals from 6 matches. There are big problems for the Maastricht defense as they have conceded 20 goals in 6 away games.

Head 2 Head

Previous seven meetings featuring these teams: Jong won two, MVV Maastricht were winners in three and we saw two draws. six games with more than 2,5 goals, one match with two goals or less.
