ADO Den Haag are welcoming VVV-Venlo for another important game after their 1-0 result against 14th-placed RKC Waalwijk.
- ADO Den Haag has the fewest points (2) at home in Eredivisie
- VVV-Venlo has the most conceded goals (43) in Eredivisie
It's no vacation for neither ADO Den Haag nor VVV-Venlo as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
ADO Den Haag form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Eredivisie this season. ADO Den Haag, who have the fewest points (2) at home in Eredivisie, have only managed 0 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses from their games here at Cars Jeans Stadion. With seven home Eredivisie games in a row without a win, the Haag fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the FC Groningen game long ago, can be stopped today.
Haag enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at RKC Waalwijk's place. The match ended 1-0 with Boy Kemper scoring. Before that game, the home loss against PEC Zwolle with the scoreline 0-2.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Haag have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found four matches with the results: Won one, drawn two and lost one.
The manager R. Brood will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to AZ Alkmaar in only three days.
Haag has scored 7 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Haag with 16 goals conceded in these matches.
VVV-Venlo form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for VVV-Venlo, who have the most conceded goals (43) in Eredivisie, so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-5 (win-draw-lose). A depressing four defeats in a row for VVV-Venlo in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus AZ Alkmaar.
Giorgos Giakoumakis (2) scored in VVV-Venlo's previous match, the home game against Willem II that ended 2-1. Prior to that match, the VVV-Venlo manager H. de Koning faced defeat when travelling to PSV and losing 1-4.
Late drama in the previous game, when Giorgos Giakoumakis scored the winning goal three minutes into stoppage time to defeat Willem II.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found four similar matches played by VVV-Venlo in our archives, and the results are: one win for VVV-Venlo, two draws and one defeat.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting SC Heerenveen in just four days.
VVV-Venlo are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 12 times in 7 away games so far. The VVV-Venlo manager H. de Koning has some worries about the defense as 17 goals have been conceded in these travels.
