Vitesse vs Willem II Predictions

Five points separate fifth placed Vitesse and their guests on Saturday Willem II, but with four wins from their last six matches the visitors will be confident they can reduce the gap this weekend. The hosts haven’t won any of their last four matches in league and cup, but three of those games have been away from home. Willem II have picked up wins in two of their last three away games, but head into Saturday’s match with back to back defeats.

A stoppage time strike from Groningen’s El Hankouri saw the hosts pinch all three points from under the noses of Vitesse on Sunday, but the visitors only have themselves to blame as six of their seven shots during the ninety minutes failed to hit the target. Willem II also went down 2-1 away from home last time out as a Mlapa double saw VVV claim all three points, but the visitors can count themselves as unlucky as they created a similar amount of chances as VVV, got seven of their shots on target, and had 56% of the overall possession.

Willem II’s decent recent record against Vitesse and their overall form over the last six matches suggests to us that they will get something out of Saturday’s game. Vitesse have only won one of their last six matches and have conceded two goals in each of those matches. Willem II head into the game with four wins from their last six games, and have picked up two wins and three draws from their last seven matches against Vitesse. The visitors are also undefeated in their last three trips to the GelreDome and three of Vitesse’s last four games have ended in defeat. All of the above suggests Willem II will win on Saturday, but just in case they only draw a double chance bet covers both outcomes.

Linssen top scores for Vitesse this season with eight Eredivisie goals, while Avdijaj and Crowley joint top score for Willem II with four goals now that thirteen goal striker Fran Sol has left the club. We’re confident that Willem II will take something from this weekends game against Vitesse and have backed the visitors with a double chance bet. As for a final score, we’re going with a narrow 2-1 win for Willem II as their hosts have conceded two goals in each of their last six matches, but if the game ends in a draw the bet still pays out.
