Football Bet of the Day: A treat in Maastricht

MVV Maastricht v Telstar
Monday 19:00

Arouca 1 Benfica 0 in Portugal last night. You've still got our vote, Kev.

There are nine games in the Dutch Eerste Divisie this evening and the one we really want to watch is straight out of the bottom half.

After three rounds of the new season, MVV Maastricht and Telstar have mustered just a single win between them, giving the world every indication that, once again, they will be plying their trade in the league's lower reaches.

If the new campaign is headed the way of the old one, then at least there will be some goals. Maastricht, whose only home game so far this term brought a 3-2 defeat, have seen Over 2.5 Goals in 11/15 at De Geusselt. That sequence includes a 3-0 win over today's opponents in April.

Including that match, Maastricht have hit 16 goals in their last five outings on home turf. At the other end, the last year has brought just three clean sheets in 17 attempts.

Michel Vonk's visitors have served up Over 2.5 Goals in 9/11 away games. The White Lions lost their first road game of the season 5-0, but Maastricht's poor defensive record raises hope that the visitors can contribute something of their own to another high scorer in the Low Countries.
