MVV Maastricht and VVV-Venlo meet in the Eerste Divisie, with the hosts sitting 10th and needing points to climb into mid-table, while the visitors are 2nd and chasing a place at the top. Both sides' most recent matches ended badly: MVV lost 0-3 in the cup, and VVV lost 0-2 in the cup. MVV come in with their defence a major problem, having lost by more than one goal in four of their last five matches, and this season they have already conceded 27 goals in 12 games. Their attack still has something, though, scoring 16 in the same number of matches. VVV, meanwhile, are the most dangerous team in the league right now, having scored 34 goals in 12 matches and won by one goal or more in three of their last five. Their attack is clearly their strength. But the head-to-head record tells another story: MVV have beaten VVV four times in the last six meetings, and at home they have won 2-0 twice in a row. This game is therefore likely to be a trade of blows, with the hosts sitting deep and waiting to counter, rather than a game the visitors can easily overrun. The first thing to watch after kick-off is how MVV cope with VVV's early attacking momentum.
