Prediction: 2-1
AFC
Vitesse will look to seal their spot in the KNVB Beker quarter-finals when they take on lower-league side AFC on Thursday afternoon. The Vitas kicked off 2024 with a goalless draw against Utrecht and they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. All Arcus, Fofana, and Jonathans remain in the recovery room, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Tweede Divisie side, on the other hand, rolled over Jong Almere City 5-1 in their last league match, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against the Eredivisie outfit. Even though AFC are on a three-game winning run on the road, we are tempted to put our money on Vitesse, who are a more experienced side than Ulrich Landvreugd's troops. A man to watch in the away team will be talented midfielder Splinter de Mooij.
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.
