Den Bosch

WDWLLL 📉

Den Bosch will be wanting a better result here after the 2-0 Eerste Divisie defeat in their last game at the hands of FC Eindhoven.

In that game, Den Bosch managed 48% possession and 9 attempts at goal with 2 on target. At the other end, FC Eindhoven had 13 shots on goal with 6 of them on target. Boris van Schuppen (45') and Evan Rottier (48') scored for FC Eindhoven.

It has been all too rare in recent games where Den Bosch haven’t conceded. In fact, Den Bosch have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 10 goals on the way. That kind of trend might not be continued into this game, however.

Jong AZ

LWDLWW

Jong AZ go into this meeting following on from a 6-1 Eerste Divisie win versus Roda JC Kerkrade in their last fixture.

In that game, Jong AZ had 55% possession and 19 attempts at goal with 9 on target. For Jong AZ, the scorers were Lequincio Zeefuik (12'), Jayden Addai (15', 56'), Ruben van Bommel (29', 34') and Jorn Berkhout (59'). On the other side, Roda JC got 18 attempts at goal with 7 on target. Tiago Çukur (32') was the scorer for Roda JC Kerkrade.

Jong AZ have been dangerous up front of late, scoring 16 goals in their last 6 matches. While their manager Lee-Roy Echteld will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Jong AZ have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 6 of those same clashes.

A look at their previous results shows us that Jong AZ:

• have not won against Den Bosch in games played away from home for the previous 3 league matches.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 2 league matches away from home.
