Form Guide
Den Bosch
DLLWLL
Den Bosch will be hoping for a better result following a 1-0 Eerste Divisie loss in their previous game against MVV.
In that game, Den Bosch had 57% possession and 9 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. MVV Maastricht had 10 shots on goal with 3 on target. Mart Remans (74') scored for MVV.
It’s been seldom in recent times that Den Bosch have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The facts show that Den Bosch have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 12 goals during that time.
Going into this one, Den Bosch haven’t won at home in the past 5 league matches. Things will have to change soon.
FC Dordrecht

In that match, FC Dordrecht managed 66% possession and 26 shots on goal with 5 on target. FC Eindhoven got 13 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target.
A succession of very capable performances by the FC Dordrecht defenders has seen their ‘goals against’ tally amounting to 3 from their last 6 outings combined. In that period, their forwards have scored 9. It will be interesting to see whether or not that trend will be continued on in this game.
Pre-game facts show that FC Dordrecht:
- have left without a victory over Den Bosch in away games against them for the last 9 league matches. A very poor set of away results, indeed.
- are undefeated in their last 3 league matches away from home.
