Jong AZ form and stats

With 3 wins, 6 draws and 9 defeats from their home games, Jong AZ, who have the fewest points (15) at home in Eerste Divisie, are certainly not brimming with confidence. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Jong AZ, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Happy days for Jong AZ in their previous game, a Eerste Divisie match away at FC Eindhoven that ended with a 1-0 victory. 0-0 away at FC Twente before that.

The Jong AZ fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 24 in 18 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Jong AZ defense is not exactly impregnable. 30 goals conceded from 18 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
