Vitesse – Groningen, Eredivisie Prediction


ANALYSIS AND PREDICTION FOR VITESSE - GRONINGEN
Vitesse had a lot of problems in the first match against Groningen, but this was expected. It is interesting how serious the difference is in the team’s performance at home and in their visits this season. Only 4 wins as a guest in the league – over very weak teams, and at home they just don’t lose. The first game ended in 1-2 in favor of Groningen, so now Vitesse have to catch up with the goal.
Groningen would have been in a few times better position if they had kept a clean sheet in the last match, but as they led 2-0, they made a serious error in one moment and Vitesse punished them. We doubt that they are making illusions that Vitesse will not put all its potential into attack, so we do not think that Groningen themselves will come out to change their tactics.
Rather, both teams will be try to outplay their rival and will practice their football. This means we will probably see more goals again, as we did in the first game. In the end, there is no doubt that Vitesse is the better team of the two, and Groningen has come here after good games in a row lately, but one can’t say they are particularly stable during the season. Groningen’s visits are no better than Vitesse ones – only 3 league victories, 2 of which were over relegated teams. Prediction – Vitesse – Over 1.5 goals at 1.75.
For the whole season in all the visits, Vitesse have scored less than 2 goals at home in just 5 games. Some of them were against Basel in Europa League, Feyenoord and Ajax
In 4 consecutive games Groningen conceded at least 2 goals against Vitesse
