MVV Maastricht form and stats

Only two Eerste Divisie home games for MVV Maastricht so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

MVV Maastricht are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-5 away versus FC Volendam. Defender Matteo Waem got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.15/10. Waem hit one key pass and won 6 of 8 duels. As you see from the result above, Maastricht suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Thijmen Nijhuis had a busy but productive day in the FC Volendam match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented.

Before that, Maastricht had a home game versus Helmond Sport which ended with a victory 3-2.

This is expected to be a close game, with Maastricht perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with MVV Maastricht as a small favourite), we find seven games. MVV Maastricht has won two of these, drawn three and lost two.

At De Geusselt, MVV Maastricht has the goal stats of 4-5 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

Telstar play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-3 to Jong Utrecht (placed 10th). Tom Overtoom got a match rating of 7.65 in that game, top player of the team. Overtoom dribled passed the opponent 3 of 4 times.

A loss against Roda JC Kerkrade was the result prior to that, in a home game.
