Jong PSV form and stats

Jong PSV's results here at Sportcomplex De Herdgang in the Eerste Divisie have been very modest with 1 victory, 4 draws and 5 defeats. With seven home Eerste Divisie games in a row without a win, the Jong PSV fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Telstar game long ago, can be stopped today.

Jong PSV faced defeat in their previous match, away at SC Cambuur (1-5). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus NAC Breda.

As you see from the result above, Jong suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Jong have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found five matches with the results: Won two, drawn two and lost one.

Jong has scored 12 league goals at home this season, in 10 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Jong PSV defense is not exactly impregnable. 18 goals conceded from 10 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Jong Ajax form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Eerste Divisie travels is 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Eerste Divisie home defeat versus Go Ahead Eagles with 0-2 on the scoreboard. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Jong Utrecht.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found four similar matches played by Jong Ajax in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Jong, zero draws and one defeat.

Jong are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 19 times in 10 away games so far. Jong's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 18 goals from these trips.
