Feyenoord vs VVV Betting Preview

Feyenoord ended PSV’s 100% run in the Eredivisie last weekend and reduced the gap between Ajax and the league leaders to just 2 points. On Friday morning, Feyenoord are once again at home in the Eredivisie where they will face seventh placed VVV. The visitors were convincingly beaten 4-1 by high flying Heracles on Sunday and their goal difference of -1 is now the worst amongst the top 8 clubs. 4 places and 10 points separate the 2 clubs heading into their midweek clash and the bookmakers are backing Feyenoord to pick up all 3 points in this fixture.

Feyenoord were the underdogs in their own backyard on Sunday when they played host to table toppers PSV. The visitors went into the game having won all of their 13 Eredivisie games this season, and while Feyenoord sat 13 points behind their guests they had beaten PSV in the Super Cup and went into the game with a lead in the head to head record between the 2 clubs.

Feyenoord were brilliant in that game and were 2-0 ahead at the break. PSV briefly threatened to spoil the party when they pulled a goal back in the second half but it wasn’t enough as the hosts held on for the 2-1 win. That victory meant that Feyenoord are now on a 3 game winning streak and they will be looking to make it 4 here.

VVV went into their previous game against Heracles as the clear form favourites, but were completely outplayed with just 38% of the overall possession, 1 corner to the hosts 14, and just 6 shots during the duration of the match compared to the 20 that Heracles produced. It’s hard to see the visitors picking up any sort of a result here if they play like how they did last weekend.

Feyenoord vs VVV Betting Tips

• The bookies are favouring Feyenoord for this one and rightly so. The hosts have won all 7 league games at home thus far, scoring 16 and conceding 4 while the visitors have a rather poor record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats, scoring only 6 while letting in 12. “Feyenoord -1.75” on the Asian Handicap and “Feyenoord Win To Nil” will be our primary bets here.
• We think that this will be a rather 1 sided affair with the hosts dominating possession from the start. 3-0 on the Correct Score seems like a good bet as well.
