This is an Eerste Divisie meeting between two sides who have both found life difficult of late. CheckLive favours the home side Jong FC Utrecht, though only narrowly — they are given a 52% win probability and the signal is low, so the gap is minimal and a draw is very much in the picture.
Jong FC Utrecht have lost all five of their most recent league fixtures, going down 1-2 to Jong AZ, 1-2 to TOP Oss, 1-6 to Heracles, 1-3 to Vitesse and 1-2 to MVV. FC Eindhoven have one win in their last five — 1-0 against Jong AZ — but have also lost to Heracles (1-3), Den Bosch (2-5), MVV (2-3) and SK Beveren in a friendly.
Their head-to-head favours FC Eindhoven on the whole, with six wins in eight meetings, but the most recent clash went to Jong FC Utrecht 3-0. With very little separating the pair on this evidence, the key is which defensive unit can hold up under pressure — both have been conceding freely.
