FC Den Bosch vs VVV Predictions

• Den Bosch manager Jack de Gier lost all four of his H2H meetings with Venlo.
• Den Bosch are yet to draw a home league game.
• Three of Venlo’s six away league wins this term came across their last four trips.

It’s now or neVVVer for Venlo’s promotion hopes

Jos Luhukay’s VVV-Venlo are currently eight points adrift of the play-off positions with just seven games remaining of the regular season, though they could yet bridge that gap given that sides above them are prone to dropping points in the run-in.

Den Bosch are simply playing for places at this point and their 2-0 defeat at the hands of rock-bottom Helmond last time out suggests that the players could be ‘on their holidays’ as the end of the season approaches.

There has been a marked improvement in Venlo’s away form, with half of their away league wins coming across their last four trips (W3, L1) that is not to mention that they have won in six of their last eight visits to this venue, suggesting they will be right up for this one yet again.

Back the visitors to get the job done

Given the circumstances, we predict that Venlo have a solid chance of victory here. We are simply backing them at a value price in the win-draw-win market as a draw seems unlikely, none of Den Bosch’s home games and just one of Venlo’s away league games ended level this season.

While Venlo’s last three away wins come without reply, we are backing Den Bosch to get in behind but ultimately with a likely 2-1 defeat in this encounter.
