Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Go Ahead Eagles and Vitesse take on each other at De Adelaarshorst in the closing match of Saturday’s program. Go Ahead Eagles have been struggling in front of goal of late, but, on the other hand, they are eyeing their fourth consecutive clean sheet. There are no fresh injury worries for the home team, whilst both Luca Everink and Finn Stokkers remain doubtful. Anyhow, we are positive that Rene Hake’s troops will once again rely on their rock-solid defence.
The Vitas, on the other hand, played out a 1-1 draw with Zwolle at the weekend and given their difficulties up front, under 2.5 goals betting option should be considered. In their last meeting in the Dutch top flight Vitesse defeated Go Ahead Eagles 2-0, which goes in favour of our prediction. A for the away team, midfielder Melle Meulensteen limped off with injury in the last league match, with Enzo Cornelisse 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.
