Jong Sparta form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Jong Sparta so far with only 15 points returning home. The records show 4-3-8 (win-draw-lose).

Two travels in a row for Jong Sparta, whose coach Roorda could celebrate last time after the win against HHC. That victory felt good as this side had gone three league matches without winning.

Preceding that, the 0-3 home loss versus Rijnsburgse Boys.

Goal-happy betting people should observe that 21 of this side's 27 most recent league games have ended with three or more goals.
