Vitesse vs Heerenveen Prediction

Both Vitesse and Heerenveen were on the wrong end of thumping last weekend, conceding nine goals combined in respective defeats to Go Ahead Eagles and Ajax.

The two teams will now lock horns in Matchday No 12 on Saturday evening at Gelre Dome where Vitesse are yet to celebrate a win this season.

Philip Cocu’s men are winless in five home outings this term, scoring just two goals in the process.

They sit at the very foot of the Eredivisie standings with just two wins and seven losses in the opening eleven rounds of the competition.

The 1-5 loss at Go Ahead Eagles will only make things worse for Cocu in terms of the atmosphere in his team’s dressing room.

Heerenveen have only been slightly better than Vitesse so far in the season, picking up three wins in eleven matches.

The visitors own the second-weakest defensive record in the division with 25 goals conceded so far in the campaign.

They’ll go into this off the back of five successive road defeats in the league. The fact they shipped three or more goals in four of these five matches says enough about the team’s defensive displays this term.

Latest Meetings

Interestingly, road teams have had more success in recent head to head history between these rivals as we’ve seen away wins in each of the last four competitive encounters between Vitesse and Heerenveen.

We’ve also seen three or more goals scored in all of the last four competitive H2H meetings between these rivals.

Vitesse have managed just 9 wins in the previous 32 home encounters with Heerenveen.

The Verdict

Both teams have been dreadful defensively of late and we can hardly see a better betting option than backing goals at both ends at the 1.57 odds.

The value is also with Heerenveen who are labelled as slight underdogs in this matchup. The away win or draw double chance pick is paid at the 1.53 odds.
