Vitesse vs NAC Breda Predictions

Fifth placed Vitesse closed the gap on AZ Alkmaar to four points when they beat Emmen last weekend and their rivals in fourth place lost away at Willem II. Vitesse have the home advantage on Saturday and will be hoping to reduce that gap even further when they take on bottom of the table Breda. The visitors are without a win in their last six matches and sit eight points adrift from safety.

Vitesse were in great form in front of goal away at newly promoted Emmen, opening the scoring through Dauda in the thirteenth minute. Norwegian international Ødegaard doubled the visitors lead in the seventy-first minute, before Foor wrapped up a 3-0 win in the eighty-ninth minute. Breda would have been expecting a tough game at home to in form Groningen and that’s just what they got. The visitors had 62% of the overall possession, more corners, and more shots than Breda during the ninety minutes, but the hosts held on to secure a point that ended their three game losing streak.

The recent head to head record between the two clubs and their performances heading into Saturday’s game suggests that Vitesse are best placed to win the game and that the hosts have an excellent chance of keeping a clean sheet. Vitesse have won four of their last seven matches against Breda, and will be confident of picking up another three points on Saturday. The hosts have won their last two games in the Eredivisie, while Breda are yet to win a game since returning from the winter break, picking up two draws and four defeats. The visitors have failed to score in five of their last six matches, which will give Vitesse plenty of confidence in their ability to keep a clean sheet this weekend.

Linssen top scores for the hosts with nine goals in the league so far this season, while te Vrede is also on nine goals for Breda. We’re confident that Vitesse will win to nil on Saturday, and have backed the scoreline to end 2-0. The hosts have a good record against their guests and have won their last two Eredivisie games. Breda have failed to score in five of their last six matches and four of those games have ended in defeat, which all points towards a win and a clean sheet for the hosts this weekend.
