Venlo vs Utrecht Prediction & Betting tips
On Friday evening, VVV Venlo and FC Utrecht will compete against each other. After the first round, VVV is the surprising leader. Are they still after the matches against the Domstedelingen?
VVV Venlo:
VVV Venlo set a big score on the first day of the new Eredivisie. Initially it did not look like that at all, in the away game that the Venlo team played at FC Emmen. Shortly after the break, the Limburgers were 2-0 behind, and seemed on their way to a defeat. The backlog was completely reversed by dealing particularly effectively with the opportunities and possibilities.
Partly due to a hat-trick by newcomer Giorgos Giakoumakis, the Oude Meerdijk won 3-5. The Greek was not immediately known to his previous employers as a goal getter, but he would not be the first attacker who often manages to find the net in the Eredivisie, where there is usually moderate defense. A scoring striker would also be very welcome for VVV, because the team acted below par in that area last season. In the aborted season, the yellow-blacks were the least scoring team.
FC Utrecht:
Relations between the KNVB and FC Utrecht have sometimes been better. At the end of the previous season there was the annoyance about the cup final, which was no longer played. Then there was the anger about the distribution of European tickets, whereby the Domstedelingen were left out. And last week they were not satisfied in Utrecht about the cancellation of the season opener against AZ Alkmaar. To make the North Hollanders fit at the kick-off of their European match against Dinamo Kiev, the KNVB removed last Friday’s game between FC Utrecht and AZ from the program.
Utrecht therefore did not play competitively yet, and to assess the qualities of the current selection, we only have a series of practice matches that John van den Brom’s team completed. In this, Utrecht performed erratically, so it is difficult to indicate where the team currently stands. People seem to have strengthened themselves in this transfer period. For example, the young French attacker Moussa Sylla was added to the selection this week.
