MVV Maastricht form and stats

3 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses. That’s the product of MVV Maastricht playing as the away team in the Eerste Divisie this season. Three consecutive losses in away matches means MVV Maastricht are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Midfielder van Bommel was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.2. Bommel hit the woodwork once, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

Preceding that match was the 2-2 draw at home vs Graafschap.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Eerste Divisie trip to FC Den Bosch.
