Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Vitesse and Go Ahead Eagles square off against each other at GelreDome in the opening match of Saturday’s program. The Vitas aim to put an end to their six-game winless run, and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against Rene Hake’s troops. Maximilian Wittek is back from suspension, whereas Matus Bero is a major doubt, and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
The visitors, on the other hand, did well to hold Ajax to a goalless draw at the weekend, but that did not help them escape the danger zone. Anyhow, home win should be considered as the relegation-threatened hosts want this win more than the visitors. With no fresh injury worries to report, Rene Hake is unlikely to make changes to the team that shared the spoils with the reigning champions at the weekend.
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.
