Two teams at the bottom of the Eerste Divisie meet in a game where the points matter to both. Jong FC Utrecht sit 20th with 7 points from 12 matches, while FC Dordrecht are 18th, just 4 points apart, so this is a match both sides want to take points from to avoid drifting further away. Jong FC Utrecht just thrashed 6-1 at home in their last match, but before that they lost four in a row, especially defensively where they have conceded 31 goals in 12 matches. FC Dordrecht are not much better, losing two in a row and having just gone down 2-4 in the league, and in their last cup match they lost 2-3. Both teams' defences are equally leaky, but Dordrecht have had slightly more possession in their last ten matches (52.7% versus 46.4%). This game should open up early because both teams have similar defensive problems. If either side scores first, the game will open up even more and could end with several goals, but the first half and second half may look different. Jong FC Utrecht tend to concede early, while Dordrecht often concede late. The game could end in a draw or with a small margin, which is the path that keeps Dordrecht in the game throughout.
