Jong PSV form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Jong PSV so far with only 13 points returning home. The records show 4-1-9 (win-draw-lose). A depressing four defeats in a row for Jong in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus FC Dordrecht. Recent form does not give Jong PSV much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Jong Utrecht will be a tough nut to crack.

T. Daverveld was the last player to score for the away team. Jong haven't scored a league goal in the last 270 minutes.

There might be some fixture complaints from Jong as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Eerste Divisie match against NEC (0-2). A 0-1 loss hosting FC Dordrecht before that.
