VVV-Venlo analysis

Currently, in the Eerste Divisie, VVV-Venlo sums 2 goals for and a total of 6 goals against, after 4 rounds played.

Recent performances have highlighted that VVV-Venlo is having trouble generating goals, with a low number of goals for and a high number of failed to score matches. This suggests that the team is struggling to create quality chances and convert them into goals, indicating the need for improvement in their attacking play.

The team does not shine in attack, with a scoring average of 0.5 goals per game. With these statistics against it, it can hardly count on a good result in the next away game.

The adaptation of Lasse Wehmeyer with the new jersey has not been the best. He had another disappointing performance in VVV-Venlo last game of the season, against Helmond Sport. In the clash, the midfielder failed to be effective and did little for the team. Despite the good expectations for the player, his performance is starting to worry.
