Jong Sparta form and stats
Things could have gone better for Jong Sparta in their Tweede Divisie away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right. Sparta seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Jong Sparta are travelling after their nice 6-0 home win in the match against OFC Oostzaan (placed 18th). Those three points felt good as this club had gone three league rounds without winning. As you can tell from the results above, Jong Sparta was very dominant against OFC Oostzaan, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 6-0 (!) with Vianello, Garden, Tahiri and Madi providing the goals. It's hard not to mention Tahiri's lethal finishing against OFC Oostzaan. three goals were a big reason for the important victory.
A 0-3 defeat away at Noordwijk before that.Goals are few and far between in Sparta's away league games. Only 1 goal from 3 travels.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last nine matches): AFC five wins, zero draws and Jong Sparta four victories. As for goals, eight matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less.
