NAC Breda form and stats

Jong Utrecht form and stats

It's not happening yet for Jong Utrecht on their Eerste Divisie travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Jong Utrecht's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Utrecht played 1-1 against ADO Den Haag in their previous match. Keijzer had red hot gloves after the game against ADO Den Haag, shaping the outcome of the game with seven saves made.

Before that, Jong Utrecht secured a home win against Helmond Sport with the score 2-0.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Utrecht as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. Jong Utrecht have conceded 7 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Data for the last seven meetings featuring these two sides are: four wins for NAC Breda, two draws and one win for Jong Utrecht. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
