Eindhoven FC vs Graafschap Match Preview

Eindhoven FC is ranked at 4th place with 58 points and comes in a good form after three wins and two draws over the last five matches. In fact their unbeaten streak extends to 13 matches where they have collected 8 wins and 5 draws. This allowed them to consolidate their position in the play off zone and now they sit only six points behind the direct promotion zone.

With 59 goals scored so far they have one of the best offensive sides in the league and in the last five matches they have scored a total of 12 goals, averaging more than two goals per game while managing to find the back of the net at least once in each occasions. They have been scoring with consistence for ten games in a row now.

Sleegers is having a great season with 16 goals - 11 assists being one of the few players with double digits so far. He is followed by van der Sande with 12 goals - 6 assists who also has been having a very productive season.

Graafschap, on the other hand, is ranked at 9th place with 47 points and comes after a dark time as they are winless in the last five matches collecting two draws and three losses. They have failed to win any of the last six games and this poor run cost them their spot in the top 8 despite the fact that they will be in the play offs even if they finish 9th considering that Jong Ajax who is not eligible for promotion is ranked above them. But Venlo is only 7 points behind and if they continue losing games like this they could be in serious trouble.

With 41 goals they have a decent attack but in the last five matches they have scored just a goal, in their most recent game against Maastricht. They played well and if they do it again here maybe luck will be on their side this time.

Konings with 6 goals - 3 assists is their best offensive player and he needs to get back on the score sheet to try and help the team.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal here. Eindhoven FC is playing very good right now and being in front of their fans I guess they can score a goal as minimum, like they have done in each of their last five home games. Graafschap needs to wake up after losing the third game in a row dare more. I think they have the quality needed to score at least once here despite the bad momentum they are having.
