VVSB form and stats

VVSB's results here at Sportpark De Boekhorst in the Derde Divisie: Zaterdag have been very modest with 2 victories, 2 draws and 6 defeats.

VVSB travelled for their previous game, a trip to DOVO that ended 3-3. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

Heartbreak before that as VVSB lost 3-4 at VVOG's place.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for VVSB, as the Derde Divisie: Zaterdag home game vs DVS '33 is only four days away.

The VVSB fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 10 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the VVSB defense is not exactly impregnable. 19 goals conceded from 10 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above. When VVSB hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Harkemase Boys, GOES, VVOG, DOVO and ODIN '59), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.
