Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
NEC Nijmegen and Vitesse go head to head at Gofferstadion in Sunday’s matinee. Nijmegen aim to build on a thrilling 3-0 win over Utrecht, with the team eyeing their third consecutive triumph on home soil. As NEC have been scoring goals for fun in front of home fans this term, we are positive that they will find the net in Sunday’s clash. Goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen limped off with injury in the last league match, with Robin Roefs likely to step up.
The Vitas, on the other hand, are desperate to put an end to their five-game losing run in the Dutch top flight and seeing that they are likely to adopt an attack-oriented approach in Sunday’s clash, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Both Amine Boutrah and Mathijs Tielemans are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side.
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.
