There has been no shortage of ups and downs for these two contenders so far, sitting in positions near the center of the Eerste Divisie table. Here's the VVV-Venlo - MVV Maastricht latest:
- VVV-Venlo haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
- MVV Maastricht have the most conceded goals (26) in Eerste Divisie
This could be an intriguing game with lots of fun and excitement as both sides are well rested since they last played a game. Let's start!
VVV-Venlo form and stats
VVV-Venlo have played 5 Eerste Divisie games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-1-1 (wins-draws-losses). Hopes of three in a row are alive for VVV-Venlo after consecutive victories at their own ground.
VVV-Venlo faced defeat in their previous match, away at Jong PSV (1-2). Midfielder Mitchell van Rooijen was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.14 (out of ten) in that game.
Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Helmond Sport.The VVV-Venlo fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 5 matches. 5 goals have been conceded.
MVV Maastricht form and stats
Playing away, MVV Maastricht have won 1 game, drawn 0 and suffered 3 defeats in the Eerste Divisie this season. Three consecutive losses in away matches means MVV Maastricht are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
Maastricht failed to get anything from their last game, a Eerste Divisie home match vs ADO Den Haag (placed 3rd) that ended with defeat 2-6. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against ADO Den Haag was particularly ugly (2-6). The humiliation is still top of mind. It's a bit troubling for Maastricht that their keeper Thijmen Nijhuis made six saves in the ADO Den Haag game, but still couldn't save them from a loss. Midfield player Orhan Dzepar was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.11/10. Dzepar scored one goal.
Prior to that match, the Maastricht manager K. Wels faced defeat when travelling to Jong Ajax and losing 1-3.The attacking power of Maastricht when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 4 league matches away. The MVV Maastricht defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 15 goals in their away games.
