Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Feyenoord will be looking to make amends for a 4-2 loss to AZ Alkmaar when they take on Venlo in the Eredivisie round 25. Feyenoord are eyeing their third consecutive win at home ground, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s football match. The Rotterdammers aim to keep their Champions League hopes alive, and they should take advantage of Venlo’s poor away record.
The Yellow Black Army are on a three-game losing run on the road in the Eredivisie, with the team losing to Vitesse in the Dutch Cup on Tuesday evening as well. Feyenoord will not have a better chance than this to get back on course, and we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. In the first half of the season Feyenoord recorded a routine 3-0 win over Venlo.
