Jong Utrecht

LLLLLD ⚠

Jong Utrecht will play in this match following a 1-1 Eerste Divisie tied result against Willem II.

In that match, Jong Utrecht managed 42% possession and 6 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Jong Utrecht was Anthony Descotte (86'). Willem II had 21 shots at goal with 6 on target. Jeredy Hilterman (91') scored for Willem II.

It has been a rare occasion in recent times that Jong Utrecht have shown defensive steel. The facts show that Jong Utrecht have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 games, giving up 16 goals in the process. Such a pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward into this next game, however.

Their prior results show that Jong Utrecht:

• have left without a victory over Den Bosch when playing them at home in the last 2 league games.
• have not been beaten in the league by Den Bosch in their last 3 matches.
• are without a win at home for the past 10 league games. Something needs to change.

The stats tell the story, and Den Bosch have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, conceding 13 goals in total. At the back, Den Bosch have clearly had some problems.
