IJsselmeervogels form and stats

IJsselmeervogels have played 14 Tweede Divisie games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 8-1-5 (wins-draws-losses).

Nothing to worry about in defence for IJsselmeervogels, as their goalkeeper Julian Prinsen has completely shut out the opponents for 223 minutes in the Tweede Divisie.

IJsselmeervogels's last game was hosting Kozakken Boys (placed 16th) and winning 4-0. As mentioned above, IJsselmeervogels "killed" Kozakken Boys in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

In the preceding match a 2-0 victory visiting ASWH.

IJsselmeervogels are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 20 goals in 14 games. On the other hand, IJsselmeervogels have conceded 16 goals.

Kozakken Boys form and stats

Kozakken Boys have only collected 12 points from their away games in the Tweede Divisie, after 3-3-8 (14 played). Three consecutive losses in away matches means Kozakken Boys are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Kozakken Boys, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-4 versus IJsselmeervogels (placed 10th). As you can see from the result above, the defeat against IJsselmeervogels was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.

Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Spakenburg's place.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Kozakken as they have only managed to score 13 times from 14 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Kozakken Boys have conceded 29 goals in these games.
