Vitesse vs Feyenoord Prediction: The Pride of the South Will Compensate For Their Poor Display Last Time Out

Vitesse will welcome Feyenoord to the Gelredome in the 18th round of the Eredivisie.

Let's have a look at the latest Netherlands Eredivisie predictions between Vitesse vs. Feyenoord, probable lineups, match facts and betting odds for you to consider!

Vitesse

Form: DLWLL

After finishing the previous season in tenth place, Vitesse might have anticipated a similar outcome this season; however, that has not unfolded as expected. With one win in their six opening matches, there was no doubt that they were destined for a relegation scrap this season, a debacle they currently find themselves in at the moment.

In their latest match against Tweede Divisie side Amsterdamsche FC in the KNVB Beker round of 16, they managed to eke out a 1-0 victory at home courtesy of a Davy Pröpper goal in the 27th minute. Prior to that, they were held to a goalless draw at home against FC Utrecht in the league, extending their winless run to two matches (L1 D1). Having won just one of their last ten league matches (L6 D3), Vitesse find themselves entangled in a web of inconsistency, and little can be expected from them in this one.

With 12 points accumulated from 17 matches, Vitesse occupy the 17th spot in the Eredivisie standings within the relegation zone and are five points adrift of safety.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-5-1

Room; Oroz, Isimat-Mirin, Hendriks, Cornelisse; Meulensteen, Domgjoni, Manhoef, Tielemans, Boutrah; Van Ginkel

Feyenoord

Form: DWWLW

Feyenoord's title defense has not gone according to plan this season as they find themselves playing the second fiddle. However, they still automatically find themselves in the title race with the season far from a conclusion, and dropping points won't be tolerated from now on at this stage, as doing so could see them drift even further away from the top spot.

The Pride of the South had a frustrating start to 2024 as they squandered a two-goal lead against NEC Nijmegen to be held to a 2-2 draw at home in the 17th round of the Eredivisie. However, despite that result, they still maintain a consistent form in the league, having recorded a solitary defeat in seven matches (W5 D1). With a three-match unbeaten run, they'll fancy their chances of extending that run to four matches by getting back to the win column in this impending encounter.

With 39 points accumulated from 17 matches, Feyenoord sit second in the Eredivisie standings, twelve points adrift of first place and two points ahead of third-placed FC Twente.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-5-1

Bijow; Geertruida, Hancko, Nieuwkoop, Hartman; Wieffer, Timber, Dilrosun, Stengs, Paixao; Gimenez

Expert Betting Tips

Having been held to an unexpected draw against NEC Nijmegen last time out, Feyenoord will be seeking to get back to winning ways and narrow down the significant point gap between them and first place.

While they've not been at their best in this instance when playing away, winning just one of their last six matches, we believe that on this occasion, they possess the capabilities to rise to the occasion and secure a convincing triumph against a team that has managed only one victory in their eight home matches in the Eredivisie. Considering they boast the second-best attack in the league, expecting them to score in both halves should be a walkover for the Rotterdam outfit in this case.
