VVV Venlo vs Utrecht

VVV Venlo was faced with the Ruud Brood effect in Breda on Sunday when NAC managed to steal points from Maurice Steijn’s Limburg team. VVV still had an early lead by a goal from Mlapa, but in the second half Leigh on behalf of NAC provided a goal that split the points between both teams.

FC Utrecht captain Willem Janssen has been playing for more than five years for the club from Domstad, but started his professional career at VVV. The born Limburger stood impressively with his clubmates last Sunday at the attack in a Utrecht tram two weeks earlier. FC Utrecht, club of the city and once formed from three clubs from various parts of the city, did this in a dignified manner after the anger that arose after the KNVB announced that they would not consider the victims.

The match against Feyenoord then followed. FC Utrecht went into halftime with a 1-0 lead after a good free kick by Emanuelson. After Sander van de Streek’s 2-0, Feyenoord was still level. In the end it was Timo Letschert who made the 3-2 win.

FC Utrecht often struggles with VVV, but in the current form we think that the Dick Advocaat team wins in Venlo.
