Another match awaits Telstar against a club with sky-high ambitions. Tomorrow evening at 9 p.m., the Witten Leeuwen will visit VVV-Venlo, which played in the Eredivisie two years ago. Trainer Mike Snoei mainly sees opportunities. “VVV is risking us,” says the coach, who realizes that it can become night work.

Snoei can have an almost fit selection in the match against VVV-Venlo. Anwar Bensabouh is out for a few more weeks with a knee injury. Cain Seedorf was absent from the final training session and everyone else was present.
Rock in the surf
“VVV plays a little less beautiful football, but has achieved a lot of points,” says Thomas Oude Kotte about the upcoming opponent. The central defender has turned out to be a rock in the surf and has received a lot of help from assistant coach Michael Dingsdag.

Goal difference
At Telstar, the focus has been on finishing for weeks. The Velsenaren are the least scoring team in the first division with five goals. “That is not only up to the attackers,” says Snoei. On the other hand, the White Lions have had to deal with thirteen goals, but according to the trainer that is due to forcing into final phases against better opponents.
