Prediction: 2-1
Vitesse
Anderlecht and Vitesse take on each other at Lotto Park in what is expected one of the most entertaining games of Thursday’s program. The Jupiler League outfit made a promising start to the new domestic campaign, and, no doubt, they are high on confidence following a 2-1 win at Cercle Brugge. Over the years Anderlecht have turned their Lotto Park into a real fortress; therefore, we are positive that the hosts are going to find the net in the first leg.
A man to watch in the home team will be Dutch rising star Joshua Zirkzee, who scored a brace at the weekend. The Vitas, on the other hand, are likely to stick to their attacking style of play, and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. It has to be noted that Vitesse kicked off the new Eredivisie campaign with a 1-0 win over Zwolle.
Highlighted Player (Keisuke Honda):
Keisuke Honda is considered one of the most famous Japanese footballers. Honda was born in Settsu, Osaka on June 13, 1986 and he started his youth career at his hometown club Settsu FC.

In the winter of 2009 Keisuke Honda joined Russian club CSKA Moscow for an undisclosed fee.

Highlighted Team (Vitesse):
Nicknamed Vitas, the proud of Gelderland, Vitesse are a Dutch football club based in Arnhem. Vitesse compete in the Dutch Eredivisie and they have yet to win the national championship. However, they finished as runners-up in the Dutch elite division on five occasions (1897–98, 1902–03, 1912–13, 1913–14, 1914–15), while clinching third place in the standings in the 1997/1998 season.
Vitesse did remarkably well to win the 2016/2017 Dutch Cup title, with the team beating AZ Alkmaar in the final at De Kuip in Rotterdam. As a result, the Vitas booked their place in the Europa League group stages where they face the likes of Lazio, Nice and Zulte-Waregem.
Vitesse are well known for their yellow jerseys with black stripes, while the club’s away colour is black. GelreDome is the home ground of the Dutch team and the capacity of the venue is 21.248. It has to be noted that famous Spanish footballer Albert Ferrer was in charge of the club in the 2010/2011 season.
