Season ticket holders at Sportcomplex Zoudenbalch haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Jong Utrecht languishing in the 14th position so far. The guesting Excelsior will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
- All of Jong Utrecht's home-matches have had more than 1,5 goals.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Eerste Divisie game only four days ago.
Jong Utrecht form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Eerste Divisie this season. Jong Utrecht have only managed 2 wins, 0 draws and 5 losses from their games here at Sportcomplex Zoudenbalch.
No payout for Utrecht in their previous match, an away game at Almere City that ended in defeat 1-4. Ahead of that match, Jong Utrecht lost 1-2 at home to Telstar.
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 Utrecht have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won four, drawn one and lost two.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Eerste Divisie game versus FC Oss in only three days. This game is also played here at Sportcomplex Zoudenbalch.
Utrecht are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 7 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 13 goals have been conceded.
Excelsior form and stats
As the visiting team in Eerste Divisie matches, Excelsior have produced an overall stat of 3-2-3 so far. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Excelsior are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Excelsior might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. FC Volendam proved too strong as Excelsior slumped to a 2-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Van Donge & De Roo Stadion. Prior to that match, the Excelsior manager M. Dijkhuizen faced defeat when travelling to Roda JC Kerkrade and losing 1-3.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Excelsior playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were zero Excelsior wins, two draws and four defeats.
A new game in only four days for Excelsior, the KNVB Beker home match versus PEC Zwolle. Busy days.
Excelsior are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 13 times in 8 away games so far. As opposed to that, Excelsior have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.
