Jong PSV form and stats

Jong PSV's struggle is real here at Sportcomplex De Herdgang with only 14 points collected from 15 Eerste Divisie games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-5-7.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Vincent Muller not having conceded a league goal in 206 minutes.

Jong manager P. Uneken and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Excelsior (placed 10th) in the Eerste Divisie. Ahead of that match, Jong PSV won a home game hosting Jong AZ (3-0).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Jong have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won three times, drawn three and lost one.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Jong as they are travelling to their away game against FC Eindhoven in the Eerste Divisie. That match is four days after this one.

Jong are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 19 goals in 15 games. Jong PSV have conceded 23 from these games.

Maastricht won their last game, 2-0 versus FC Eindhoven played at home. Before that, Maastricht secured a home win against Almere City with the score 2-0.

The attacking power of Maastricht when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 15 league matches away. As for defending, Maastricht rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 27 goals from these away matches.
