Feyenoord vs VVV 20.00 (GMT+1)

Feyenoord has a visit from VVV, at first glance a David vs Goliath match. But the first fixture ended up in a 0-0 draw. Todays circumstances could lead to the same result. Why?

Feyenoord thought to compete for the champioship, but they put those aspirations away along time ago. Qualification in the play-offs and winning the Dutch-cup is what they set their eyes on now. But they have to start winning from bottomtable teams like VVV. This will be very difficult today. Feyenoord is handicapped in their squad, they miss alot of important players. Especially upfront they miss alot of stricking power, Roy Makaay, Nicky Hofs and Andwele Slory OUT! They will play without these players, and judging by there rescent two games they will have diffuculties scoring goals. We saw that Feyenoord was more focused in keeping their midfield organised, wich lead to a conservative style of play. I think the coach will aply the same style and Feyenoord will defenitly not be storming VVV.

Not only Feyenoord has a handicaped squad, but VVV aswell. VVV is a bottom table team whos fighting for avoiding the relegation zone. In todays visit I expect them to play very defensive, and aim for goals true counterattacks and freekicks/corners. They will miss their golden boy Nourdin Ambrabat, who is like the Wayne Rooney of VVV. So this should affect their attacking chances. VVV lost 2-0 in a midweek visit to Twente, VVV didn't created any chances in that match, they just waited for a move of their oppponent.

Two teams face eachother with many injuries. VVV is cautious and will aim for a draw, whilest Feyenoord is very limited in attacking skills, butt organised in midfield, where defense is priority number 1. I advise under 3 goals insteed of 2.5, This is Holland and its very hard to predict unders, especially in the Feyenoord stadium. But the chances on a under are bigger, so.. pick under 3 :)
