VVSB form and stats

VVSB's results here at Sportpark De Boekhorst in the Derde Divisie: Zaterdag have been very modest with 1 victory, 2 draws and 5 defeats. With seven home Derde Divisie: Zaterdag games in a row without a win, the VVSB fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Sportlust '46 game long ago, can be stopped today.

A good away victory last time out for VVSB, who won 3-0 against GOES (placed 18th).

Preceding that match was a defeat to HSV Hoek (1-3).

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Excelsior '31 are coming to town in three days.

With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the VVSB defense is not exactly impregnable. 15 goals conceded from 8 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 GOES, VVOG, Ajax Amateurs, DOVO and ODIN '59), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.
