Jong PSV hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 14 points and a 14th position in the Eerste Divisie table. Visiting Jong Utrecht holds 13th place with 15 pts.

It's no vacation for neither Jong nor Jong Utrecht as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Jong PSV form and stats

Overall Eerste Divisie stats at home this season for Jong PSV are 1-1-2 (wins-draw-losses).

Jong drew their last game, 3-3 away at MVV Maastricht (placed 16th). Before that match, a win away at FC Den Bosch.

Late drama in the game against MVV Maastricht as Jong were trailing by a goal near the finishing line until Kristofer Ingi Kristinsson popped out and made it level in the 83rd minute. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

This is expected to be a close game, with Jong perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Jong PSV as a small favourite), we find six games. Jong PSV has won two of these, drawn three and lost one.

Jong are traveling soon after this match as the Eerste Divisie match at Helmond Sport awaits in three days.

A decent goal production from Jong in their home games so far, with 6 goals from 4 league matches. Jong have conceded 9 goals in these home games, a significant number.

Utrecht won their last game, 2-1 versus Helmond Sport played at home. That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Roda JC Kerkrade.

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

With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Utrecht are regular goalscorers on their travels. The Utrecht manager R. Hake has some worries about the defense as 10 goals have been conceded in these travels.
