Jong PSV vs Venlo: Team News and Expert Analysis
The youth side of the reigning champions collected only 30 points last season, finishing a modest eighteenth. This time, they have confidently stayed in the upper part of the table, but what difference does it make if they're not eligible for promotion? Perhaps this explains why spring has brought a series of defeats—for example, against Willem II, it was already four losses in a row.
VVV ended last spring with 41 points, securing fourteenth place. This season, they could have tried to fight for a playoff spot. But in 2026, there has been just one win, albeit with plenty of draws. All the more surprising was the 3-0 thrashing of Cambuur.
The reserves of the giants average 1.82 goals scored per game and concede 1.74. Their next opponents average 1.29 goals scored and 1.5 conceded per match.
