IJsselmeervogels form and stats

IJsselmeervogels have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Tweede Divisie were 4 victories, 2 draws and 11 defeats from 17 fixtures. Three has not been a lucky number for IJsselmeervogels as they have been defeated three times in a row since the OFC Oostzaan match.

IJsselmeervogels's previous game was their home loss versus Rijnsburgse Boys (0-3). IJsselmeervogels did not look prepared in the first half against Rijnsburgse Boys and lost the game during the first 45 minutes. They need to evaluate their pre-match routine before this one.

A loss against De Treffers was the result prior to that, in a home game.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with IJsselmeervogels playing away and similar expectations, we found 10 relevant matches. Results were 5 IJsselmeervogels wins, 0 draws and 5 defeats.

It's early days yet, but IJsselmeervogels has scored 0 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head
