2-1-3 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Kozakken Boys when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those six matches are 5-10 (scored/conceded).

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Kozakken Boys form and stats

There's been little loot from Kozakken Boys's travels as they have only collected 14 points from 16 away games in the Tweede Divisie. Kozakken Boys only have 4 wins to counter their 10 defeats and 2 draws. It's looking increasingly bleak for Kozakken who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. TEC was the last time a defeat was avoided.

Prior to that match, the Kozakken Boys manager Calderwood faced defeat when travelling to Katwijk and losing 0-1.

Kozakken are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 2 draws and 7 defeats. From a total of 10 matches.

The visitors have scored 15 goals from 16 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. 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's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 29 goals from these trips.
