Jong Utrecht form and stats

Jong Utrecht's results here at Sportcomplex Zoudenbalch in the Eerste Divisie have been very modest with 4 victories, 0 draws and 8 defeats. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Utrecht with their six defeats in a row. Not since the MVV Maastricht game, 53 days ago, have they avoided a loss. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Utrecht, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Utrecht are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-3 away versus FC Den Bosch. Preceding that match was the home game against SC Cambuur that was lost 1-3.

Thijmen Nijhuis had a busy but productive day in the FC Den Bosch match. Despite making eight saves the loss could not be prevented.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Eerste Divisie game versus MVV Maastricht in only three days. This game is also played here at Sportcomplex Zoudenbalch.

The Utrecht fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 12 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 22 goals have been conceded.

FC Dordrecht form and stats

FC Dordrecht, who have the fewest scored goals (24) in Eerste Divisie, have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Eerste Divisie, after 2-0-10 (12 played).

Dordrecht go into this game after a win, the home game against Helmond Sport that ended 2-1. The game before that, was lost at home, a 2-3 defeat against NAC Breda.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting FC Dordrecht as they have only managed to score 9 times from 12 away games in the league. The Dordrecht defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 39 goals in their away games.
