Dordrecht vs Venlo Prediction & Betting Tips (16 February)

Venlo have not made the start that they would have been hoping for after finally ending their long absence from the Eerste Divisie, failing to pick up a win or score a goal in their first three matches. Given that Dordrecht have triumphed nine times in their previous 14 home games at this level, they will fancy their chances of winning this local derby.

Over 2.5 goals has been the order of the day in six of the last nine Eerste Divisie matches involving Dordrecht, and the newly-promoted outfit are without a clean sheet in 14 attempts this season. What’s more, a minimum of three goals have been netted in 14 of the most recent 17 Venlo games at this level, so there is every reason to expect something similar.

If nothing else, Dordrecht are the great entertainers on their own patch, both scoring and conceding during the same 91 minutes in 14 of their last 17 league fixtures. This is definitely something that Venlo can relate to, as 16 of their previous 20 away matches in the Eerste Divisie have also delivered goals at both ends, so expect an entertaining encounter.
