A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 5th and 14th place in the table will show on the pitch.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Jong PSV form and stats
Jong PSV have played 16 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 9-4-3 (wins-draws-losses). The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Sportcomplex De Herdgang.Jong PSV lost their last game at FC Den Bosch after a 1-3 scoreline. Previous to that game, a home match hosting RKC Waalwijk in a game that was won 2-1.
There will be little rest for Jong PSV after this match as they are travelling to FC Volendam for a Eerste Divisie game in only four days.
With an average of more than two goals per home game (34 in 16 games), Jong PSV's attacking play is working. On the other hand, Jong PSV have conceded 21 goals.
NEC form and stats
The hunting on away grounds hasn’t been very fruitful for NEC so far with only 16 points returning home. The records show 4-4-8 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved NEC have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone eleven consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Telstar game. Three has not been a lucky number for NEC as they have been defeated three times in a row since the FC Den Bosch match.Two away games in a row for NEC, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-4 versus Jong AZ in the Eerste Divisie. A 1-2 loss hosting Jong Ajax before that.
After this away game NEC return home for a Eerste Divisie game against Helmond Sport. That game is only four sleeps after this.
NEC find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 23 goals from 16 away fixtures. The NEC manager J. de Gier has some worries about the defense as 32 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the NEC - Jong PSV 4-4 earlier this season. H2H stats regardless of arena (last five matches): Jong PSV 1 win, 2 draws and NEC 2 victories.Top Goalscorers
