MVV Maastricht form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for MVV Maastricht's two home games in the Eerste Divisie so far this season, having collected 3 points here at De Geusselt.

Maastricht shared the glory with Jong AZ in their last match, an away game that ended all square 3-3. Previous to that game, a home match hosting FC Oss in a game that was won 3-0.

MVV Maastricht salvaged the draw from a difficult situation against Jong AZ, trailing 0-2 at one point. Not giving up resulted in Jerome Deom equalizing. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the MVV Maastricht at home in the league. 4 on target and 7 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Go Ahead Eagles form and stats

Go Ahead Eagles, who have the most clean sheets (3) away in Eerste Divisie, are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Eerste Divisie, having played 3 games and collected 5 points (1 win, 2 draws and 0 losses).

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Eerste Divisie home defeat versus Jong Utrecht with 2-3 on the scoreboard. Before that, Go Ahead Eagles travelled to FC Volendam and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.

It's a bit worrying for Eagles that their goalkeeper Jay Gorter made six saves in the Jong Utrecht game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss. Go Ahead Eagles were so close to getting something from the game against Jong Utrecht, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal one minutes into overtime.

A new game in only three days for Go Ahead Eagles, the Eerste Divisie home match versus Graafschap. Busy days.

The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Eagles are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 0 away goals have been conceded so far.

Head 2 Head

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