MVV Maastricht form and stats

MVV Maastricht have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Eerste Divisie, after 2-3-8 (13 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in MVV Maastricht's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Maastricht goalkeeper Mike Havekotte is eager to challenge this, with his 237 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Impressive finishing from Kursad Surmeli and Manuel Angiulli secured the home win 2-0 against Telstar in their previous game. Before that, MVV Maastricht secured a home win against Excelsior with the score 1-0.

The visitors have scored 8 goals from 13 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. MVV Maastricht's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 23 goals from these trips.
