Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Vitesse
Excelsior will look to build on a 2-0 win over Cambuur when they face Vitesse at Van Donge & De Roo Stadion on Friday evening. Excelsior kicked off the new Eredivisie campaign in style, but they do not want to stop now, and we are positive that they will go for a win against Vitesse. Nikolas Agrafiotis is a major doubt, and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off, while there are no other injury concerns in the home team.
The Vitas, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-2 loss to Feyenoord, but seeing that they looked sharp in front of goal at the weekend, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Goalkeeper Markus Schubert should be the only absentee in the away side, while Denmark international Nikolai Baden Frederiksen should continue to lead the line for the visitors.
Highlighted Player (Riechedly Bazoer):
Despite playing for PSV during his youth career, Riechedly Bazoer made his Eredivisie debut with Ajax. The central midfielder who was born on 12 October, 1996 in Utrecht, scored his first goal for Ajax on 15 February, 2015 in a 4-2 victory over Twente.
Four days later he made his European debut with the Amsterdammers, taking part in a 1-0 win over Legia in the Europa League. Bazoer scored five goals in 29 league appearances for Ajax in the 2015/2016 season, but he failed to win the domestic trophy with Frank de Boer’s troops.
Speaking of his international career, Bazoer has two caps for Netherlands U21 team and he made his debut for the first team on 13 November, 2015 against Wales. It has to be noted that he came as a late substitute in the 3-2 victory over the Dragons. Back in 2012 the right-footed midfielder won the UEFA U17 European Championship with the Dutch national team.
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.
