Jong PSV form and stats

Jong PSV have collected 17 points from their Eerste Divisie home games so far after 5-2-6.

The spoils were shared in Jong's previous game, also at home. Visiting Jong AZ (placed 7th) travelled back with a draw after a 3-3 scoreline. 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? Midfield player Nassoh got a match rating of 9.13 in that game, the max score being 10. Nassoh scored two goals, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 4 of 6 times and had 24 successful passes (of 28 total).

1-1 away at Telstar before that.

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 PSV have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 8 matches with the results: Won 1, drawn 3 and lost 4.

Sports bettors, take note: A review of the 12 latest league matches highlights that 11 of them had at least one goal from each team.

NAC Breda form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Eerste Divisie travels is 4 wins, 2 draws and 7 defeats. NAC Breda has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Impressive finishing from Rutten, Martina and Wernersson secured the home win 3-2 against FC Dordrecht in their previous game. Rutten came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against FC Dordrecht last time out, making the manager Hyballa feel like a tactical genius. McNulty, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.25. McNulty won 7 of 11 duels.

A 1-4 defeat away at Jong Utrecht before that.
