VVV-Venlo form and stats

VVV-Venlo have played 7 Eerste Divisie games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-1-2 (wins-draws-losses). VVV-Venlo has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager J. Luhukay and the players.

The fans are hoping that VVV-Venlo will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Eerste Divisie game against FC Emmen (placed 4th). Defender Kristopher Da Graca got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.35/10. Graca won 0 of 3 duels.

Preceding that game was the away draw at NAC Breda (after extra-time, 4-2 on penalties) that finished 1-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with VVV-Venlo perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with VVV-Venlo as a small favourite), we find six games. VVV-Venlo has won three of these, drawn two and lost one.

VVV-Venlo are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 7 games. 7 goals have been conceded.
