Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Vitesse will be aiming to make amends for back-to-back losses to PSV and AZ Alkmaar when they welcome RKC Waalwijk to their GelreDome on Saturday. The Vitas occupy 14th place in the standings due to their tough fixture list, but they are surely capable of beating RKC in front of home fans. Talented forward Amine Boutrah is pushing for a start, while Kacper Kozlowski should recover in time to face Henk Fraser’s troops.
Waalwijk, meanwhile, suffered a loss in each of their first four games of the season and given their shaky defence, Vitesse will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways in the Dutch top flight. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Arnhem. In their last encounter in the Eredivisie RKC defeated Vitesse, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
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.
