The visiting Feyenoord side should be favourites in this visit to VVV-Venlo, as the away team holds a 14 point advantage from their eleven league games this season.
- VVV-Venlo has the most conceded goals (33) in Eredivisie
- Feyenoord has the most points from losing position (15) in Eredivisie
Feyenoord could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Europa League game only three sleeps ago. That game, against Wolfsberger AC, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Feyenoord.
This stadium uses artifical turf, unlike Feyenoord's home stadium. The visitors last ten games on artifical turf have ended in 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses.
VVV-Venlo form and stats
VVV-Venlo, who have the most conceded goals (33) in Eredivisie, have played 5 Eredivisie games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-2-2 (wins-draws-losses).
VVV-Venlo lost their last game at RKC Waalwijk (placed 12th) after a 2-3 scoreline. In the match before that, VVV-Venlo hosted PEC Zwolle and drew the game 2-2.
Delano van Crooy had a busy but productive day in the RKC Waalwijk match. Despite making seven saves the loss could not be prevented.
The manager H. de Koning will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Almere City in only three days.
VVV-Venlo are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 5 games. This has been a stadium of sighs so far as VVV-Venlo have let the opposition score 20 times, an average of more than three per game.
Feyenoord form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most points (13) away in Eredivisie, on their Eredivisie travels is 4 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Feyenoord are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
Feyenoord lost away at Wolfsberger AC (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Heracles in the Eredivisie.
Today's guests are confident travelers having scored 14 goals in 5 league games away this season. Feyenoord have conceded 6 goals in these away matches.
