Venlo Preview – Can Venlo halt losing streak?
A woeful run of results has seen Venlo lose their last five league matches on the trot in the Dutch top flight following defeats against Fortuna Sittard, Utrecht, AZ, Vitesse and Feyenoord which has left Tuesday’s hosts sitting just above the bottom three.
Venlo do have a four-point cushion over third from bottom outfit Willem II but recent results suggest that this lead may come under some threat, especially as Venlo have conceded a total of 20 goals during this terrible five-match spell.
Results at home have been mixed as their home record of 3-3-5 16/32 indicates but Venlo also possess the second worst defensive record at home in the Eredivisie too.
Sparta Rotterdam Preview – Can Sparta end barren spell?
Sparta Rotterdam have also struggled of late in the Eredivisie as the visitors have failed to win any of their last eight matches overall in the Dutch top flight, losing five of these and drawing the other three which has at least kept them at arms length of relegation trouble so far.
An away record of 4-3-5 13/16 gives the visitors some hope though of at least picking up a point away at Venlo as they look to take advantage of their hosts’ poor run of form and in turn move further away from the bottom three themselves.
Wins on the road at Waalwijk, Willem II, Twente and Fortuna Sittard so far this term should give Sparta a fighting chance here.
