Venlo vs Groningen Prediction & Betting tips
VVV-Venlo and FC Groningen are the first two teams to take action this Eredivisie weekend. The home team fights against relegation, while the Groningers would like to enforce European football.
VVV Venlo:
For VVV-Venlo, the last block of this Eredivisie season is dominated by a big goal, namely: enforcement. The team from Venlo are currently number sixteen, which would entail promotion / relegation matches, if they were still standing here after the 34th match day. The good news for the yellow-blacks is that RKC Waalwijk and Willem II are not far above the Limburgers. On the other hand, in Venlo and the surrounding area, people will look with some concern at the rising form of FC Emmen, which is still under VVV, but has recently been grabbing many points.
Unlike other clubs, not many VVV players had to report to their national team. Georgios Giakoumakis did come into action, for Greece. He had the advantage that the Greeks have John van ‘t Schip as national coach, who undoubtedly follows the Eredivisie well. Giakoumakis came into action for Greece, including in the away match against Spain, in which a good point was taken (1-1). A handful of goals from Jako could help VVV a lot, to end up above the relegation line.
FC Groningen:
Until two months ago, FC Groningen was well on track for a European ticket, but the form has somewhat disappeared with the team of trainer Danny Buijs, who managed to win in just one of his last six matches. Before the international match, there was a very disappointing 3-1 loss to low flyer RKC Waalwijk. Groningen made it very easy for the Brabander, by actually giving the goals as a present. The only Groningen goal was scored by midfielder Ahmed el Messaoudi, who is unmistakably going through a good development this season, and is already on eight league goals.
The club management used the international period to make an inventory with whom they will continue, and who will be said goodbye. Attacker Mohamed el Hankouri will also play for Groningen next season, while mercenaries Miguel Angel Leal, Alessio da Cruz and Per Kristian Bratveit have options to buy. Groningen has not yet lifted it. Technical director Mark-Jan Fledderus announced that Arjen Robben, whose comeback is not a success, can stay. ‘He works very hard and sets an example for everyone,’ said Fledderus about Robben. “He is of unprecedented value to the club.” However, it is still unclear when the former international will be available again.
