Prediction: 2-0
Vitesse
All eyes will be on De Kuip when Feyenoord and Vitesse go head to head in the Eredivisie round 19. Feyenoord have been performing above expectations this season, and a win over Vitesse will see them stay in the title race. Since the Rotterdammers impressed in a 3-0 triumph over Heerenveen before the New Year break, home win should be considered. Keep in mind, though, that Luis Sinisterra misses the game with injury.
The Vitas, on the other hand, recorded a hard-fought 1-0 win over Zwolle in their last league match. Vitesse, though, are not regarded as good travelers, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. Thomas Letsch should have a full squad to choose from this time out. In the first half of the season Vitesse defeated Feyenoord 2-1, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.

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.
