FC Eindhoven host De Graafschap at the Jan Louwers Stadion on October 3, 2026, with kick-off at 18:00 local time. The Eerste Divisie meeting brings together two teams looking for greater consistency after eight league matches. Eindhoven are 13th with 10 points, while De Graafschap sit 19th with seven. Both have won twice in their last five games, but their recent results tell different stories: the hosts arrive after a defeat, whereas the visitors come into the match on the back of a victory.

FC Eindhoven Recent Form and Key Stats

FC Eindhoven have taken two wins, one draw and two defeats from their last five matches. They lost 1-3 to Heracles Almelo before a goalless draw with Jong FC Utrecht, then responded with a 2-1 win over FC Dordrecht and a 3-1 victory against FC Emmen. That improvement was interrupted on September 26, when Eindhoven lost 4-2 to NAC Breda. They have scored in four of those five fixtures, but the latest result underlined the difficulty they have had keeping opponents out.

Across the season, Eindhoven have recorded three wins, one draw and four losses, averaging 1.6 goals scored and 2.1 conceded per match. Their five-game averages are similar in attack, at 1.6 goals scored, while the figure for goals conceded is 1.8. Those numbers give the hosts a clear aim for this match: build on the scoring shown in their recent victories while avoiding another defensive setback.

There is also a notable pattern after the interval. Eindhoven’s last 11 home matches in the Eerste Divisie have all featured at least one second-half goal. The same has been true in 21 of their last 22 league matches overall. That statistic concerns goals in the match, rather than goals scored by Eindhoven alone, but it does suggest that their games have often remained active beyond half-time.

De Graafschap Recent Form and Key Stats

De Graafschap have made a difficult start to the campaign, with two wins, one draw and five defeats in the league. Their season averages stand at 1.1 goals scored and 2.5 conceded per match. The visitors are below Eindhoven in the standings, although a 1-0 win over FC Den Bosch on September 27 gives them a positive result to build on before this trip.

Their last five matches have produced two victories and three defeats. Losses to Almere City FC and Heracles Almelo came before a 2-1 win against FC Emmen. De Graafschap then lost 1-2 to NAC Breda, only to recover with the win over FC Den Bosch. Over that five-game spell, they have averaged 1.0 goal scored and 2.4 conceded per match. They found the net in four of those fixtures, but also suffered two defeats in which they conceded heavily.

De Graafschap’s matches have also had an early-goal trend: each of their last 10 games has featured at least one first-half goal. That does not establish which team will score first in Eindhoven, but it is a relevant detail for a fixture between sides whose season goals-conceded averages are both above two per game.

FC Eindhoven vs De Graafschap Match Analysis

The immediate form offers a balanced picture. Eindhoven have the stronger league record and have scored multiple goals in three of their last four matches. De Graafschap, however, have also won twice in their last five and arrive after keeping a clean sheet against FC Den Bosch. Neither side has put together a sustained run of results in the figures provided, making their respective defensive records an important part of this Eerste Divisie preview.

The most recent meeting ended 2-2 on April 3, 2026. Across the supplied head-to-head summary, Eindhoven have one win, one draw and three defeats against De Graafschap, averaging 0.6 goals scored and 1.4 conceded. The latest draw shows that the sides have recently shared a match in which both scored, while the broader record is less favorable to the hosts.

For this encounter, the attacking and defensive numbers point to opportunities at both ends without guaranteeing another high-scoring result. Eindhoven have scored in four of their last five games and concede an average of 2.1 goals per league match this season. De Graafschap have likewise scored in four of their last five, while conceding an average of 2.5 across the campaign. With both teams trying to follow up recent wins rather than repeat their recent defeats, whether each can turn chances into goals is a central question for the match.
