Cambuur and Utrecht II meet in Cambuurstadion, in a match for the 34 th round of the Eerste Divisie. The two teams tied (0-0), on 09-21-2018, in the previous match for this edition of the league. The record of direct confrontations of the last 3 years is favorable to the home team, which in the last 5 matches won 3 and tied 2. Particular attention is required for the home / away condition, since both teams present significantly different results in house and outside.
Cambuur:
The home team is currently in the 12 th position of the league, with 47 points won, after 13 wins, 8 draws and 12 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Jong Ajax, by (0-6). In the last match, they lost in an away match against SC Telstar, by (4-2). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 1 draw and 8 losses in away matches, with 20 goals scored and 22 conceded; against 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 18 goals scored and 21 conceded. For the championship, Cambuur won 8 points out of 30 possible, after 1 win, 5 draws and 4 losses in the last 10 home matches. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half-time was the 1-0 (7 out of 16 matches). Their attack has scored regularly, since they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 33 matches in this tournament, he suffered the first goal 9 times and never got the comeback.
The win imposed on Ajax B, by 6-0, seemed then too excessive. They were too heavy numbers for the reality of the game. But it was a victory, or a win, that gave great motivation to the players and helped to score two goals for Telstar. However, the two goals scored were insufficient, as Telstar scored 4 goals and ended up defeating the match. For Cambuur, it is still necessary to score if you want to raise places in the table and be present in the play-offs. Now he receives an adversary that seems adequate to add up all the points. This is a team that, oddly enough, feels better playing outside than at home and before their fans, so it is best to hope that they achieve superiority over the opponent, overcoming it. As in the previous day, there is no new unavailability worthy of registration, in addition to long-term absentees.
Utrecht II:
After 3 wins, 6 draws and 24 losses, the away team is currently in the 20 th position of the league, with 15 points won. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Roda JC, by (2-1). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Almere City, by (0-2). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 draws and 12 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 37 conceded; against 2 wins, 2 draws and 11 losses at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 37 conceded. In the last 10 away matches for the championship Utrecht II has 2 draws and 8 losses, so it has won 2 points out of 30 possible.
For this competition, they have not won any of the last 16 away matches. They have not been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in all of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 11 of the last 16 matches for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. This is a team that usually scores a few times first: it only opened the scoring in 6 of its last 33 matches for the Eerste Divisie, of these 6 it reached the break in advantage in 3 and won at the end of the 90 ‘in 2. In 33 matches in this tournament, suffered the first goal 8 times and never got the comeback. In the last 4 home matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 3 of their 8 goals between minutes (0’-15 ‘).
After the defeat of the last day, against Almere City, Utrecht is increasingly the last classified and their accounts, if they were already complicated, are even worse, now that Helmond has already achieved a 3-point lead. Any game that the Utrecht disputes is almost as if it were a struggle between life and death. We can not ignore that this team, after having played 16 games in the quality of visitors, has not yet managed to win and it seems to be very difficult for that to happen. On the last day the two ends of the team could not play, by suspension, but for this game there is no relevant absence.
