There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with NEC leading MVV Maastricht by 14 points.
- NEC have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded at home.
- MVV Maastricht have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
4-5-9 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for MVV Maastricht when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 18 matches are 18-28 (scored/conceded).
NEC form and stats
NEC have played 6 Eerste Divisie games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-2-1 (wins-draws-losses). Two draws in a row at home now for NEC.
It's back home for NEC, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Jong AZ away with the result 3-0. Ayman Sellouf and Elayis Tavsan (2) found the net in that victory. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Roda JC Kerkrade that ended 1-1.
The NEC manager R. Meijer has got the team scoring with 13 from 6 home games in the league. NEC's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 6 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
MVV Maastricht form and stats
There's been little loot from MVV Maastricht's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 7 away games in the Eerste Divisie. MVV Maastricht only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 3 draws.
Maastricht's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Jong PSV that finished 3-3. A 0-2 defeat away at Roda JC Kerkrade before that.
It looked so good for Maastricht vs Jong PSV, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 3-0 lead was turned into a 3-3 draw. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for MVV Maastricht, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Graafschap in just four days.
The attacking power of Maastricht when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 7 league matches away. Maastricht struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 11 goals conceded from these games.
Head 2 Head
As for the last eight games between these two teams, there's four NEC victories, two draws and two MVV Maastricht wins. Over/under statistics; four of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.NEC missing players
