VVV-Venlo form and stats

With 3 Eredivisie wins, 3 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, VVV-Venlo, who have the most conceded goals (73) in Eredivisie, are certainly not brimming with confidence. There's also a terrible streak running regardless of playing venue as VVV-Venlo have lost nine games in a row. The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here at Covebo Stadion - De Koel -, with the home team losing four in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the Vitesse game.

The VVV-Venlo fans got no joy from their last match, a Eredivisie game also here at Covebo Stadion - De Koel -: A 0-1 defeat against FC Groningen (placed 6th). A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at PEC Zwolle.

The VVV-Venlo fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 14 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as VVV-Venlo have allowed the opposition to score 37 goals here at Covebo Stadion - De Koel -.

Donyell Malen and Denzel Dumfries scored in PSV's previous match, the home game against Heracles that ended 2-0. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against AZ Alkmaar wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

The PSV manager R. Schmidt has got the team scoring on the road, with 30 away goals in 14 league matches. PSV struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 21 goals conceded from these games.
