Twente vs Vitesse Predictions

• Both teams are in the midst of winless runs.
• Two of the last three times Twente have hosted Vitesse the game has ended in a draw.
• Both teams have been conceding too many goals of late.
• A win for the hosts would see them close the gap to Vitesse to just 2pts.

Poor form suggests both teams lack confidence

Vitesse have only lost one of their last six matches against Twente and over 2.5 goals have been scored in five of the pairs’ last six encounters. Over 2.5 goals have also been scored in four of Twente’s and three of Vitesse’s last five matches, so you can see why we are expecting at least three goals to be scored this weekend.

Twente have only won one of their last five league games and Vitesse haven’t won any of their last five Eredivisie, and the hosts have only won three of their eight home games this season while the visitors have avoided defeat in half of their away games. Twente average 1.38 points per home game and Vitesse average 1.25 points per away game, which only adds further weight to our prediction for a draw on Saturday.

Goals are expected as neither side have kept many clean sheets of late

Twente score an average of 2.13 goals per home game and concede an average of 2.00 goals and Vitesse score an average of 1.50 goals per away game and concede an average of 1.75 goals, which is why we have gone with a final scoreline of 2-2 this weekend. Twente’s home games produce an average of 4.13 total goals and Vitesse’s away games produced an average of 3.25 total goals, which ties in well with our final scoreline prediction.

Over 3.5 goals have been scored in 62% of Twente’s home games and that is why we are expecting goals in Saturday’s clash. 88% of Twente’s home games have seen both teams score as have 50% of Vitesse’s away games, with the hosts scoring 17 goals at home this season but conceding 16 and the visitors scoring 12 goals on the road. Twente are yet to keep a clean sheet at home but have only failed to score in 12% of those games, so it’s difficult to imagine the hosts not scoring or stopping Vitesse from scoring this weekend.

We’re confident that over 2.5 goals will be produced in Saturday’s clash and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-2. Both teams head into this game having conceded too many goals for their liking, but that does suggest that we are likely to see goals being scored at both ends of the pitch. Recent encounters between the pair have produced plenty of goals and we expect that trend to continue this weekend.
