Jong AZ hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 7 points and a 18th position in the Eerste Divisie table. Visiting Telstar holds 7th place with 15 pts.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Jong AZ form and stats
1 victory, 1 draw and 2 defeats. That’s what Jong AZ, who have the most conceded goals (31) in Eerste Divisie, have to build on here at AFAS Trainingscomplex in the Eerste Divisie. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Jong to get some points in this home game.
Jong AZ faced defeat in their previous match, away at FC Eindhoven (0-3). Preceding that match was the home game against FC Volendam that was lost 2-6.
This is expected to be a close game, with Jong AZ perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Jong AZ as a small favourite), we find eight games. Jong AZ has won three of these, drawn two and lost three.
The manager M. Vonk will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Almere City in only four days.
Jong AZ always seem capable of creating a buzz here at AFAS Trainingscomplex with 13 goals in 4 league games. Jong have allowed more than three conceded goals on average in their home matches so far.
Telstar form and stats
Playing away, Telstar have won 2 games, drawn 1 and suffered 1 defeat in the Eerste Divisie this season.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Telstar, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-3 versus Heracles. That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Helmond Sport in the Eerste Divisie.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Telstar playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were four Telstar wins, one draw and one defeat.
Telstar are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 6 times in 4 away games so far. Telstar struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 7 goals conceded from these games.
