VVV vs Vitesse Predictions

VVV suffered a 4-1 defeat at PSV before the international break and occupy thirteenth spot in the Eredivisie table heading into Saturday’s match. Vitesse won 2-1 at home to Utrecht last time out and remain fourth in the table after a bright start to the campaign.

All of the stats suggest that the most likely result on Saturday is an away win and we’ve backed Vitesse to end up on the right end of a 2-0 scoreline in Venlo.

Vitesse are unbeaten in their last four matches against VVV and have won the pairs’ last two encounters. The visitors have also scored at least two goals in their last three matches against VVV, so you can start to see why we’ve backed the visitors to win 2-0 on Saturday.

The form of both teams heading into this weekends’ clash only adds weight to our prediction for an away win, as VVV have lost four of their last six matches, while Vitesse have won four of their last six. We’ve backed a clean sheet for the hosts due to the fact that VVV have failed to score in three of their last five matches, all of which ended in defeat.

The performances of the visitors during the last month or so only strengthens our prediction for Saturday’s match, as Vitesse have scored in all but one of their last six matches and have managed to score two goals or more goals in each of their last three matches, beating Utrecht and RKC 2-1 and hammering Fortuna Sittard 4-2.

The starts both teams have made to the season also point towards a win for Vitesse as there is already an eleven point gap separating the pair with just nine games of the new Eredivisie season played and Vitesse look likely to challenge for the European places while their hosts appear destined for a bottom half finish.

We’re confident that Vitesse will pick up all three points this weekend and have predicted a final scoreline of 2-0 in their favour. The visitors arrive as the form favourites and have started the season really well, while VVV have been average at best and head into the match on the back of three straight defeats.
