HHC form and stats

When playing at home in the Tweede Divisie, HHC have managed 3 wins, 1 draw and suffered 1 defeat from 5 games.

HHC's previous game was a Tweede Divisie match also played at home, ending 4-0 versus GVVV (placed 13th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Preceding that game was the away draw at Jong Sparta that finished 1-1.

As mentioned above, HHC "killed" GVVV in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how HHC have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won 3 times, drawn 1 and lost 1.

HHC are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at De Boshoek in their league games, having scored an impressive 15 goals in 5 attempts. HHC's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 6 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

GVVV form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Tweede Divisie travels is 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.

It might be tough going out on the road again for GVVV, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-4 versus HHC (placed 3rd). That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Helmond Sport in the KNVB Beker.

GVVV lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.

We have checked recent matches where GVVV have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those six games were W2-D0-L4.

GVVV have scored 6 goals on their travels this season, from 5 away games in the league. GVVV have conceded 7 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

The dueling parties have met before this season: HHC - GVVV 4-0. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 4 wins for HHC, 4 draws and 2 wins for GVVV. Over 2,5 goals: 6 times; under 2,5 goals: 4 games.
