Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Vitesse and Almere City square off against each other at GelreDome in the closing match of Saturday’s program. The Vitas failed to impress in back-to-back losses to Twente and RKC Waalwijk, with the team remaining in the relegation zone and, as a result, they face yet another must-win situation against Almere. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the round 26 clash.
Alex Pastoor’s men, on the other hand, are safe for now, with the team sitting in 12th place in the standings, eight points clear of the relegation zone. As Vitesse want this win more than Almere City, we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in backing the home side. Even though Pastoor should have a full squad to choose from for Saturday’s encounter, Theo Barbet should sneak into the starting XI.
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.
