Heracles vs Vitesse Predictions

Heracles lost at home 2-0 to PSV last time out and are yet to score in either of their opening two matches in their own backyard. Vitesse currently sit joint top of the Eredivisie table with five other clubs on seven points after winning 3-0 at home to Zwolle last week.

All of the stats suggest we will be in for a tight and tense ninety minutes between these two clubs with under 2.5 goals set to be scored, and we make Vitesse favourites to claim all three points. Four of the last six encounters between these two clubs have produced under 2.5 goals and Vitesse have won three of the pairs’ last six meetings.

Both teams have made contrasting starts to the season with Heracles agoing without a win in their opening three matches and Vitesse picking up two wins and a draw. Heracles have lost their last two home games and failed to score on each occasion, against PSV and Heerenveen, while Vitesse have kept two clean sheets in their last two matches, beating Zwolle 3-0 at home and Willem II 2-0 away.

Under 2.5 goals have been scored in three of Heracles’ and four of Vitesse’s last six matches in all competitions, but the visitors have only failed to score in one of their last six matches against Heracles. The visitors are unbeaten in their last six matches and will prove tricky to beat this weekend, conceding just four goals during that period and scoring ten.

We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be scored in Friday’s match and have predicted a final scoreline of 1-0 in favour of Vitesse. The visitors arrive as the clear form favourites and have a good recent record against Heracles. The hosts have started the season slowly, especially at home where they have lost both matches. Vitesse are aiming for a third straight win and clean sheet this weekend and we’re backing them to achieve both in what is expected to be a tight and tense game.
