Den Bosch host Dordrecht in the Eerste Divisie. Both clubs have found this season tough going, sitting in the lower half of the table with mixed form behind them.
Dordrecht arrive on a poor run of league results, while Den Bosch have shown occasional signs of life without much consistency. That contrast is worth watching, especially once you look at how these two have fared against each other down the years.

Dordrecht's form is more one-directional. They started with a win and a draw but have since lost five league matches in a row, including a heavy 6-1 defeat away at Volendam and a 3-0 loss at FC OSS most recently.
Dordrecht arrive low on confidence, while Den Bosch at least have a recent win to build on.

Neither defence has been especially tight, but Dordrecht's goal difference is notably worse, which lines up with their current losing streak.
Players to watch and a discipline note
Den Bosch's S. Karlsson Grach has scored four goals in seven appearances, making him their main attacking outlet this season.
x 3
x 1 x 4 x 1 x 3Dordrecht have picked up some card trouble along the way, with A. Ouarghi on four yellows in six games, M. Vetkal on three in seven, and B. Hardley sent off once in four appearances. It points to a side that's had to defend under pressure rather often.
What kind of game this could be
With both sides conceding freely, and Dordrecht in particular struggling to keep opponents out, goals at both ends look plausible again here.

There's no market to weigh up for this one, so we're not making a pick here.
Den Bosch look the steadier of two shaky sides on paper, but their own form has been patchy, and Dordrecht have shown in the past they can raise their game against this particular opponent. Between the current table and the head-to-head record, the picture doesn't point clearly enough in one direction, so we'll leave this one alone.
