MVV Maastricht form and stats

This stadium, De Geusselt, has been a fortress for MVV Maastricht in the Eerste Divisie so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 6-2-0. Two home wins in a row for MVV Maastricht bring valid hopes of a third.

In their previous game, the manager Verberne led his MVV Maastricht to a defeat away at Jong Utrecht. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at De Geusselt. Up until that loss this club had gone eight consecutive league meetings without a loss. Matthys had a busy but productive day in the Jong Utrecht match. Despite making eight saves the loss could not be prevented.

Before that, Maastricht had a home game versus Helmond Sport which ended with a victory 4-0.

MVV Maastricht are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (22 goals in 8 games).
