It's not happening yet for Go Ahead Eagles on their Eredivisie travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Eagles's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Go Ahead Eagles are travelling again after losing away to AZ in their previous match (0-5). Eagles lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-5 beating and focus on this one.

A 1-2 loss hosting PSV before that.The attacking power of Eagles when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. There are big problems for the Go Ahead Eagles defense as they have conceded 12 goals in 3 away games.
