Vitesse are scoring goals and look strong in defence

Vitesse won 3-1 away at Fortuna Sittard in their first game back following the winter break while Emmen beat Heracles 1-0 at home, meaning that 12pts still separate these two sides in the Eredivisie table. Over 2.5 goals were scored when Emmen got the better of Vitesse earlier in the season, pinching a 2-1 victory over the European hopefuls, but it is the visitors who sit six places above Sunday’s hosts in the Eredivisie table.

Vitesse have won their last four competitive matches and have scored 3 or more goals in each of those games and managed to keep three clean sheets during that period, while Emmen have lost their last two away games and failed to score on each occasion. The hosts have been performing very well at home this season, securing 5 wins from a possible 9, while Emmen are yet to win on the road, losing 8 of their 9 away games.

The hosts average 1.89 points per home game and have a win ratio of 56%, while the visitors average just 0.11 points per away game and have so far only managed to pick up 1pt on the road. Vitesse score an average of 1.89 goals per home game but Emmen concede an average of 2.67 goals per away game and only score an average of 0.44 goals on the road, which is why we have backed Vitesse to claim a 3-0 victory this weekend.

Emmen have only managed to secure 1pt on the road this season

Vitesse’s home games produce an average of 3.00 total goals while the visitors’ away games average 3.11 total goals, and we have backed three goals to be scored in Sunday’s clash. 78% of Vitesse’s home matches have seen over 2.5 goals scored as have 56% of Emmen’s away games this season but only 44% of the visitors away games have seen both teams score.

The hosts have kept clean sheets in 33% of their home games while Emmen are yet to keep a clean sheet in the road and have failed to score in a massive 56% of their away games. Exactly 3-goals have been produced in 56% of Vitesse’s home games this season, which is a huge majority, and the same can be said about 22% of Emmen’s away games.

A majority of Vitesse’s wins this season (7) have been obtained with a margin of 2 goals or more while a majority of Emmen’s defeats (8) have had a margin of 2 goals or more, which is why we have backed Vitesse to win comfortably this weekend. We’re confident that Vitesse will win on Sunday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 3-0. The hosts have been strong at home while their guests have been very poor on the road this season. The hosts have been scoring plenty of goals and keeping a lot of clean sheets of late and we can see that trend continuing this weekend at the expense of Emmen.
