Jong Utrecht form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Eerste Divisie travels is 2 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats. It's a growing despair in Jong Utrecht as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

Home advantage was not enough for Utrecht in their previous game, as they lost their Eerste Divisie-match, hosting ADO Den Haag, 1-4. Jong Utrecht goalie Fabian De Keijzer could take pride in a fine shift versus ADO Den Haag, but even with pulling off six saves the defeat could not be helped. Midfield player Mohamed Mallahi was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.41/10. Mallahi scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

Prior to that match, the Utrecht manager D. Kalezić faced defeat when travelling to Excelsior and losing 1-2.
