MVV Maastricht form and stats

When playing at home in the Eerste Divisie, MVV Maastricht have managed 3 wins, 0 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 5 games. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Maastricht to get some points in this home game.

Maastricht are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus VVV-Venlo. Thijmen Nijhuis had a busy but productive day in the VVV-Venlo match. Despite making nine saves the loss could not be prevented. Sven Blummel (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.43/10. Blummel hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Ahead of that match, MVV Maastricht lost 2-6 at home to ADO Den Haag.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Maastricht have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won four times, drawn two and lost one.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (10 in 5 games), Maastricht's attacking play is working. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Maastricht with 11 goals conceded in these matches.

FC Dordrecht form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Eerste Divisie travels is 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats.

Home advantage was not enough for Dordrecht in their previous game, as they lost their Eerste Divisie-match, hosting Helmond Sport, 0-1. It's a bit worrying for Dordrecht that their goalkeeper Liam Bossin managed seven saves in the Helmond Sport match, but still were unable to hinder a beating. Seydine N'Diaye, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.85. N'Diaye hit one key pass and won 8 of 9 duels.

Prior to that match, the Dordrecht manager M. Santoni faced defeat when travelling to Jong AZ and losing 1-2.

Dordrecht are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, one draw and one defeat. From a total of three matches.

Dordrecht have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 5 league away games 6 goals have been scored. For Dordrecht, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: seven - two - one (Maastricht wins - draws - FC Dordrecht wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.
