VVV-Venlo form and stats

Disaster struck VVV-Venlo last season as they could not defend their status as a Eredivisie team. With 23 defeats from 34 games, and only 6 wins, relegation could not be avoided. VVV-Venlo are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W3 D4 L10.

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 four of these, drawn one and lost one.

It's been an intense period of training leading up to this game for VVV-Venlo, who have participated in five training matches. VVV-Venlo have won 2 of these, drawn 2 and were beaten in 1 game.
