FC Eindhoven form and stats

As the visiting team in Eerste Divisie matches, FC Eindhoven have produced an overall stat of 3-3-5 so far. It's looking increasingly bleak for FC Eindhoven who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Almere City was the last time a defeat was avoided. Eindhoven seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Home advantage was not enough for Eindhoven in their previous game, as they lost their Eerste Divisie-match, hosting Go Ahead Eagles, 0-2. Prior to that match, the Eindhoven manager E. Brandts faced defeat when travelling to Jong AZ and losing 2-3.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Eindhoven playing away, we found two games. Results were one away win, zero draws and one home win.

The attacking power of Eindhoven when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 11 league matches away. Eindhoven struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 19 goals conceded from these games.
