- Jong Utrecht have the fewest scored goals in the first half (10) in Eerste Divisie
- Jong AZ have the fewest matches over the total-line (3) in Eerste Divisie
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Eerste Divisie. That game, against MVV Maastricht, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Jong AZ.
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 11 defeats. It's trouble wherever Jong Utrecht are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.
Utrecht are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus FC Emmen.
Preceding that match was the home game against Almere City that was lost 1-2.This is expected to be a close game, with Jong Utrecht perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Jong Utrecht as a small favourite), we find ten games. Jong Utrecht has won five of these, drawn zero and lost five.
Jong Utrecht have scored 13 league goals here from 15 matches, not a lot.
Jong AZ form and stats
There's been little loot from Jong AZ's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 15 away games in the Eerste Divisie. Jong AZ only have 3 wins to counter their 10 defeats and 2 draws.
Jong play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-2 victory visiting MVV Maastricht (placed 19th). Taabouni, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.55. Taabouni scored one goal, served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
That result followed a home victory 3-2 versus Telstar.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found five similar matches played by Jong AZ in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Jong AZ, zero draws and three defeats.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Jong AZ as they have only managed to score 13 times from 15 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Jong have seen the ball go into their own net 22 times on the road.
