VVV-Venlo

LWLLWW

VVV-Venlo will be looking for a repeat result of the 1-4 Eredivisie success vs ADO Den Haag.

The only name on the scoresheet from VVV-Venlo was Giorgos Giakoumakis (6', 58', 68', 86'). Samy Bourard (65') scored for ADO Den Haag.

Venlose trots have not been the best at stopping their opponents lately, but they’ve also done enough to convert their own chances into goals. Looking at their last 6 games, Venlose trots have conceded in 6 of them as well as scoring in 5 of those games.

Coming into this meeting, VVV-Venlo have not won against SC Heerenveen in their previous 13 league games. That has got to hurt.

SC Heerenveen

DDLLLD ⚠

In the game prior to this, SC Heerenveen drew 1-1 in the Eredivisie match with RKC Waalwijk.

The only scorer from SC Heerenveen was Henk Veerman (7'). Richard van der Venne (56') scored for RKC Waalwijk.

SC Heerenveen have had no problems opening up opposition defences of late, scoring 6 times in their last 6 matches. While their manager Johnny Jansen will no doubt take that as a positive sign, De Superfriezen have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 6 of those same clashes. Let’s find out whether or not that trend can be sustained in this game.

Looking at their past form shows that SC Heerenveen:

• have not lost to VVV-Venlo when having played them away from home in the previous 6 league games. Away fans have certainly had plenty to cheer about.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 4 league matches.
