VVV Venlo vs FC Utrecht

VVV-Venlo has been led by Maurice Steijn in recent years. The Hague trainer opted for an adventure outside the national borders. Robert Maaskant became his successor. Maaskant was successful at a number of clubs in the past and had to bring VVV to the middle bracket.

That turned out to be difficult and dismissal followed. And so it happened that Maaskant ended up in a row with former VVV trainers. It also includes Jan Reker, Sef Vergoosen and Leo van Veen who goes through life as Mister FC Utrecht.

Calculated FC Utrecht will visit Venlo on Sunday afternoon. Undoubtedly under the watchful eye of Van Veen who is still very closely involved with the club. Van Veen stood with his goal against GVAV in 1970 at the cradle of the merger between DOS, Elinkwijk and Velox that would form FC Utrecht.

In the year 2020, FC Utrecht is a sub-topper that often makes it difficult for large teams, but stumbles over the smaller gods. VVV is typically a team where Utrecht can lose points. Certainly now that captain Janssen (who once also played for VVV) has been eliminated with a knee injury.

We expect a small victory for FC Utrecht, although the defense of the Domstedelingen must be sharp. That is the Achilles heel of the team of John van den Brom.

Our Prediction: 2

Odds: 1.73
