Jong Utrecht form and stats

Jong Utrecht have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Eerste Divisie, after 2-2-10 (14 played). It's looking increasingly bleak for Jong Utrecht who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. NAC Breda was the last time a defeat was avoided.

Jong Utrecht aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 208 league minutes without a goal. Descotte was the last player to find the net.

There might be some fixture complaints from Utrecht as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 0-1 against MVV Maastricht. Midfielder Jenner was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.41. Jenner hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 4 times and had 37 successful passes (of 43 total).

Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Jong PSV.

For Jong Utrecht, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net. Jong Utrecht has visited these top teams two times, and 2 of 2 has ended with 2 goals or more!
