Vitesse vs PEC Zwolle Predictions

• The main prediction would have won in four of Vitesse’s last five home games.
• Two thirds of Vitesse’s league wins this season produced over 2.5 goals.
• Zwolle conceded 2.5 goals per-match on average in away league games.

Vitesse should gift fans a victory

While there will be no fans in the GelreDome to cheer Vitesse on here due to the lockdown, the squad will know that Arnhem are behind them as they seek to give the city an early Christmas present in this tough time.

After leading 2-0 last time out, Vitesse were unlucky to let their lead slip with a 93rd minute equaliser, though that result did extend their unbeaten run to four games as their push for a European play-off place remains well on track.

Statistically speaking, games do not get much easier to pick than this – Vitesse have scored almost three times as many goals as the rock-bottom visitors while the visitors are enduring their worst ever start to an Eredivisie campaign (W1, D3, L13).

‘Blue Fingers’ left out in the cold

A resounding 4-0 success over Eerste Divisie opponents in the KNVB Beker was not enough to spur Zwolle on to a league success, as they were found out yet again over the weekend in a 3-1 defeat against Twente.

One thing to add a bit of spice to this encounter is the fact that the former Vitesse assistant manager, Dick Schreuder, took up the reigns at Zwolle in his first Eredivisie managerial appointment just last month. However, he is yet to oversee a league win (D2, L3).

Zwolle must win a game sooner or later, though I don’t think this is the one that will stop their rot. As such, I predict an entertaining home win with over 2.5 goals to squeeze plenty of value out of what appears to be a short price in the regular W-D-W market.
