Venlo Preview – Can Venlo move out of relegation spot?
Despite currently occupying the relegation play-off spot in third from bottom place in the Dutch top flight, Friday night’s hosts, Venlo, bring a promising 4-match unbeaten run into the proceedings against Heracles at their Covebo Stadion as the hosts look to haul themselves out of the bottom three tonight.
Venlo have picked up important points along the way in recent weeks with points gained in draws with PSV, Utrecht and Heerenveen, all of which have ended in 1-1 stalemates with the most notable of the three being the point gained off 5th placed PSV.
The hosts have also picked up a 2-1 win away from home at Waalwijk so they’ll be in fairly confident mood of getting something out of this upcoming clash on Friday night, especially as they’ve lost just 1 of their last 5 matches at home amidst a home record of 4-2-5 13/21.
Heracles Preview – Can Heracles win back-to-back?
Following a miserable stretch of 3 defeats on the trot in the Eredivisie, Heracles ended their drought last weekend when they registered a welcome 2-0 home win against Fortuna Sittard and the visitors will now be going in search of back-to-back wins at Venlo on Friday night.
With just 5 points separating mid-table Heracles and the top seven pack, the visitors can reduce the deficit significantly with all three points from this upcoming clash, but this may be easier said than done, considering the recent defeats.
Losses to Emmen, Feyenoord and Willem II along with a pretty ordinary looking away record of 2-4-5 9/16 mean that Heracles are far from a certain three points in this one, especially as they’ve failed to win any of their last 8 away matches in the Eredivisie.
