Go Ahead Eagles form and stats

Go Ahead Eagles have collected 16 points from their Eredivisie home games so far after 5-1-7.

Go Ahead Eagles are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Sparta Rotterdam. The forward Cordoba bettered all others in that fixture and got a match rating of 7.44 out of 10. Cordoba hit one key pass.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus FC Utrecht that ended 1-1.

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

Eagles are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 13 games. Go Ahead Eagles have conceded 21 from these games.

SC Cambuur form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most conceded goals (55) in Eredivisie, on their Eredivisie travels is 5 wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in SC Cambuur's last three away games as they have all been lost.

This fixture can not go any worse than the last one, the home defeat versus Ajax with 2-3 on the scoreboard. Kallon, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.41. Kallon scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times.

Prior to that match, the Cambuur manager Jong faced defeat when travelling to FC Twente and losing 0-1.

SC Cambuur have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 13 league away games 18 goals have been scored.
