Feyenoord vs VVV-Venlo Prediction

Both teams have struggled to get favorable results recently. VVV have conceded two or more goals in five of their last six games, scoring just seven times in that period.

The hosts have been able to find the back of the net more consistently but only have two wins to show for all their prolificacy in their last six games.

Given Feyenoord's fine goal-scoring form and VVV's poor defensive run, we think the hosts should be able to record a win here.

Prediction: Feyenoord 3-1 VVV-Venlo
