NAC Breda form and stats

NAC Breda have played 14 Eerste Divisie games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 7-6-1 (wins-draws-losses). In general it's been a long time since NAC Breda tasted defeat here at Rat Verlegh Stadion, as they have taken at least one point from their last eleven home games in the league.

A good away victory last time out for Breda, who won 2-1 against MVV Maastricht (placed 17th).

Before that, NAC Breda had a home game versus Jong PSV which ended with a victory 3-1.

The manager Graaf will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Telstar in only three days.

A decent goal production from NAC Breda in their home games so far, with 24 goals from 14 league matches. NAC Breda have only conceded 10 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

De Graafschap form and stats

De Graafschap have an excellent away record in the Eerste Divisie so far with 9-2-2 from 13 games. With three draws in a row for Graafschap the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment.

The attacking players of De Graafschap have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 180 minutes. 195 minutes! That's how long the De Graafschap goalkeeper Hidde Jurjus and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

There were no winners in Graafschap's previous match, the home game that ended 0-0 vs Jong AZ (placed 16th). Baas, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.53. Baas hit four key passes and won 1 of 4 duels.

Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs FC Den Bosch.

The schedule is very tough for De Graafschap now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Eerste Divisie game at Roda JC Kerkrade is waiting in only three days.

They concede less than a goal on average per away game (9 so far). There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

This is what happened when the squads played each other earlier this campaign; De Graafschap - NAC Breda 2-0. Data for the last ten meetings featuring these two squads are: three wins for Breda, one draw and six wins for De Graafschap. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.
