Kozakken Boys form and stats

Kozakken Boys have collected 16 points from their Tweede Divisie home games so far after 5-1-4. The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of four straight victories regardless of arena. After failing to beat IJsselmeervogels here at Sportpark De Zwaaier, Kozakken Boys has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row.

Happy days for Kozakken Boys in their previous game, a Tweede Divisie match away at HHC (placed 1st) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Ahead of that match, Kozakken Boys won a home game hosting Volendam II (2-1).

The victory against HHC came after R. Drenthe's winning goal. The Kozakken Boys manager R. Adjei was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 64th minute.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Kozakken Boys's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played two games, won one match, drawn zero and lost one.

Kozakken Boys have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Sportpark De Zwaaier with 18 goals in 10 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 15 goals have been conceded.
