FC Eindhoven vs MaastrichtPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

A difficult summer for both. FC Eindhoven ended their preparation without a win, three defeats and two draws with just four goals in five outings. Maastricht did no better, three draws and two defeats, although one of those saw them score three against Beveren. The Dutch second tier runs at three goals a game. The verdict: the ask is for the hosts to score. Eindhoven found the net in three of their five friendlies and the Maastricht defence conceded eight over the same stretch, a backdrop that supports the call even though these were warm-up games. That takes us to 82%. My take: Eindhoven score in front of their own crowd, but they will need more than that to take the three points.
