KAMPONG – ORANJE-ROODSunday, November 23, 12:45pm

Head-to-head record17 matches6 wins Kampong6 wins Oranje-Rood5 draws

What the stats say

Kampong remained unbeaten (W W G W W) in its last five matches against Oranje-Rood and lost only one of its last seven matches with the Eindhoven outfit (W5 D1): that was on 20 April 2022 (1-2 in Utrecht). 
At the Klapperboom, Kampong won only once against Oranje-Rood, out of a total of eight games (G4 V3). That happened in the 2023-2024 season, when it became 4-1. Mea de Vries (two), Pam Imhof and Luna Fokke then scored for the home team, Guusje Moes scored against on behalf of Oranje-Rood. 
Kampong won its last four matches since a 1-1 at Pinoké on 5 October. No other team has run such a winning streak. 
Striker Oranje-Rood failed to score in five of its last seven matches. 
Oranje-Rood lost its last four away games and did not score in those. Four away matches in a row without a goal means equalling a negative club record, which dates from the 2020-2021 season.
