The visiting NAC Breda side should be favourites in this visit to MVV Maastricht, as the away team holds a 9 point advantage from their nine league games this season.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
This stadium uses artifical turf, unlike NAC Breda's home stadium. The visitors last 16 games on artifical turf have ended in 6 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses.
MVV Maastricht form and stats
MVV Maastricht, who have the the worst goal difference (-9) at home in Eerste Divisie, have collected 3 points from their Eerste Divisie home games so far after 1-0-3. The Maastricht manager D. Kalezić might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
An away draw last time out for Maastricht, facing Helmond Sport in a game that ended 1-1. Ahead of that match, Maastricht lost 1-5 at home to Jong Ajax.
The Maastricht goalkeeper Mike Havekotte was crucial in the match against Helmond Sport last time out, making six saves. The hometeam coach D. Kalezić made a successful contribution in the game against Helmond Sport, bringing on Thomas van Bommel who scored the equalizer in the 1-1 draw.
Maastricht are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 4 games. Maastricht have allowed more than three conceded goals on average in their home matches so far.
NAC Breda form and stats
It's gone fairly well in the Eerste Divisie away games so far for NAC Breda with six points collected from three matches. Recent form does not give Breda much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. MVV Maastricht will be a tough nut to crack.
Breda aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 282 league minutes without a goal. N. Venema was the last player to find the net.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Eerste Divisie home defeat versus NEC with 0-1 on the scoreboard. It was a KNVB Beker defeat before that one as the away game against Go Ahead Eagles wasn't a success with a 0-6 loss.
The visiting Breda have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 4 goals from 3 games. Breda are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 2 times in 3 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
