Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Twente will try to recover from a 1-0 loss to RKC Waalwijk when they face Vitesse in the Eredivisie round 3. The Reds outplayed Dutch powerhouse Ajax 3-1 in their last home game and it is no wonder they are seen as hot favourites to beat the Vitas in the postponed fixture. Both Rickie van Wolfswinkel and Mitchell van Bergen are pushing for recalls to the starting XI, while all Brenet, Bruns, Smal, and Unuvar have been struggling with injuries of late.
The visitors, on the other hand, do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team losing each of their last four league matches. Vitesse failed to find the net in the previous three Eredivisie games and seeing that Twente have turned De Grolsch Veste into a real fortress, home win should be considered. Amine Boutrah limped off with injury in a 1-0 loss to Sparta Rotterdam, with Said Hamulic likely to step up.
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.
