Overview.
Aiming to give their home turf ‘fortress’ status, VVV-Venlo have scored two-thirds of their nine-goal haul at home, and are yet to draw a blank at the Seacon (2.0 goals per-match on average). Moreover, the hosts have not seen a goalless first-half here, but they are yet to lead at the break, even when opening the scoring in the first half. Venlo have seen their last four league outings settled either way by a single-goal margin (W2, L2). The team’s coach Robert Maaskant also has a personal reason for keeping it tight again, having won just three of his 16 prior managerial meetings with Heerenveen.
Though Heerenveen’s away matches so far have produced more average goals (3.67) than the league average of 3.47, the first-half is where the action happens. To date, all three of Heerenveen’s away matches have witnessed over 1.5 goals before the break, for a first-half average of 2.67 goals per road trip. Alarmingly for them, Heerenveen have conceded at least twice in 11 of their last 12 Eredivisie away games. However, they have lost just one of the last 16 top-flight H2Hs, while conceding no first-half goals in any of their last five Eredivisie visits to Venlo.
