Venlo to keep their faint play-off hopes alive at Den Bosch
8347

On Saturday afternoon, Den Bosch hosts Venlo, as the visitors look to keep alive their hopes of landing a play-off spot in the Eerste Divisie.

Den Bosch are 13th place in the Dutch second-tier table, 15 points adrift of the play-off positions. Their chances of promotion have been hampered by poor form this season, as they have lost 18 out of their 33 games in the Eerste Divisie.

Den Bosch have won just two of their last 15 matches in the second tier of the Dutch game. However, both of those victories have come in their last three league outings. A 2-0 defeat against Almere City last time out ended a promising run of two straight wins for the home team.

Both of those recent wins came on home soil. The wins came on the back of a four-game home losing streak for Den Bosch in the Dutch second tier, though.

They have been poor defensively on home soil too in the second tier, as they have conceded at least two goals in four of their previous six league matches in the Eerste Divisie.

Venlo are just three places above Den Bosch in the standings and eight points adrift of the play-off spots in the Eerste Divisie.

With just four league matches remaining, time is against the visitors who could still make the top-eight, but only if they win all their games and results go for them elsewhere.

A recent run of just one win in their last four league matches has not helped their chances of making the play-offs this season. However, Venlo have won three of their last four away games, which is a certain positive for the visitors.

Forebet predicts that Venlo will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to keep their play-off hopes intact for another week at least.
