Jong AZ are trusting their home fans to help them in this fixture against VVV-Venlo. Who wins at AFAS Trainingscomplex?

Insights:
  • Jong AZ have the fewest matches over the total-line (1) in Eerste Divisie

Only a few days to rest for the hosting team, as they performed in a Eerste Divisie fixture only four days earlier. That game was an away game at FC Dordrecht, so at least Jong AZ are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Jong AZ form and stats

The story so far in the Eerste Divisie for Jong AZ at their home stadium (AFAS Trainingscomplex) is 4 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in twelve attempts.

Jong AZ are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus FC Dordrecht. Oosting, an attacker, was the best player for the side in that fixture, and was presented with a rating of 7.5 (out of 10). Oosting hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

In the match before that, Jong AZ hosted FC Den Bosch and drew the game 3-3.

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 nine games. Jong AZ has won four of these, drawn three and lost two.

The Jong AZ fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 11 matches. On the other hand, Jong AZ have conceded 12 goals.

VVV-Venlo form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for VVV-Venlo so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 3-1-6 (win-draw-lose). Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but VVV-Venlo are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.

VVV-Venlo's previous game was their home loss versus Jong PSV (1-4). Defender Koglin was the best team player with a rating of 7.05. Koglin scored one goal and won 3 of 7 duels.

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Graafschap at their stadium, the result 2-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with VVV-Venlo playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were one VVV-Venlo win, zero draws and three defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting VVV-Venlo as they have only managed to score 9 times from 10 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 14 goals have been conceded by VVV-Venlo in these games.

Head 2 Head

Jong AZ and VVV-Venlo have duelled earlier this season: VVV-Venlo - Jong AZ 0-1.
