NEC form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for NEC's two home games in the Eerste Divisie so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Goffertstadion.

NEC manager and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus FC Den Bosch (placed 19th) in the Eerste Divisie. Before that, NEC had a home game versus Telstar which ended with a victory 4-2.

This is expected to be a close game, with NEC perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with NEC as a small favourite), we find one game. NEC has won 0 of these, drawn 0 and lost 1.

The manager will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to FC Dordrecht in only four days.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the NEC at home in the league. 5 on target and 4 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

De Graafschap form and stats

Four points from two away games for De Graafschap, meaning one draw and one victory in the Eerste Divisie so far.

De Graafschap are travelling after their nice 3-2 home win in the Eerste Divisie against Jong Ajax (placed 10th). A 0-0 draw at FC Oss's stadium before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found six similar matches played by De Graafschap in our archives, and the results are: 1 win for De Graafschap, 3 draws and 2 defeats.

A new game in only four days for De Graafschap, the Eerste Divisie home match versus FC Eindhoven. Busy days.

It's early days yet, but De Graafschap has scored 3 and conceded 0 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between the teams: NEC won 7, De Graafschap won 1 and 2 draws. 2 games with over 2,5 goals, 8 matches with two goals or less.
