MVV Maastricht form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at De Geusselt as MVV Maastricht have scored 30 goals to get 27 points from 12 games. The overall stats in the Eerste Divisie are 8-3-1 (wins-draws-losses).

In their previous game, the manager Verberne led his MVV Maastricht to a defeat away at Jong Ajax. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at De Geusselt. 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? Matthys had a busy but productive day in the Jong Ajax match. Despite making seven saves the loss could not be prevented. Midfield player Steuckers got a match rating of 8.43 in that game, the max score being 10. Steuckers scored one goal and hit five key passes.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Heracles (0-2).

The match schedule is unforgiving for MVV Maastricht as they have a new game in only four days, a Eerste Divisie match thankfully also at home. VVV-Venlo are visiting.

Polen hit three key passes and won 3 of 8 duels.

A home win before that, celebrating 4-1 vs Jong AZ.

A quick return to home after this game, as PEC Zwolle are hosting FC Den Bosch in the Eerste Divisie only four days away.

The Zwolle manager Schreuder has got the team scoring on the road, with 28 away goals in 12 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.
