Venlo vs Jong AZ Prediction & Betting Tips (8 November)

Jong AZ are enjoying an incredible run of success on their top-flight travels, stringing together eight wins on the spin at the highest level of the Eerste Divisie. Venlo, have found the going somewhat harder on their own patch of late, suffering four consecutive defeats in which they have conceded 13 goals.

Jong AZ don’t tend to be involved in too many thrillers, with under 3.5 goals being the order of the day in 19 of their previous 21 matches at the top table of the Eerste Divisie. This is definitely something that Venlo can relate to, as 13 of their last 13 games at this level have also served up three goals or fewer, so any deviation from this script would come as a shock.

Since Slaven Bilic picked up the managerial reins, entertainment levels at The Hawthorns have gone through the roof, with all nine of Venlo's Eerste Divisie home games this season producing goals at both ends. Given that five consecutive Jong AZ away matches at this level have followed the same pattern, a repeat performance is expected here.
