Vitesse vs Graafschap Prediction & Betting tips
In this cup round, a Gelderland derby is on the program. Vitesse takes on De Graafschap in Arnhem.
Vitesse:
The people from Arnhem are busy with a good season. Many also expected a home win in the match last Saturday, when Vitesse took on ADO Den Haag in Arnhem. The start of coach Leonid Slutsky’s team was disastrous. In no time the people of Arnhem were facing a 0-2 deficit. There were opportunities in the remainder of the game, but there was no quick match goal. Therefore, Vitesse not only played football against the opponent from the Hofstad, but also against the clock. It would not work out in the end. Vitesse lost the match 0-2, so they had to make a pass in the ranking.
Last week it was mainly the riot around Riechedly Bazoer who played the lead role at Vitesse. The midfielder argued with Jay-Roy Grot, after which he also had a verbal confrontation with Slutsky. Bazoer was banned, but this ban is, as it appears, temporary. He is back in the selection. Slutsky naturally needs him too, and Bazoer represents a transfer value for the Arnhem club. Whether he is also in the base in the match of Tuesday is doubtful. Slutsky already announced that in this game the necessary other players will get playing minutes. Thomas Buitink will most likely be in the starting line-up.
De Graafschap:
De Graafschap will play its games this season in the Kitchen Champion Division, after the relegation of last season. Like so many degraded teams in the past, De Graafschap naturally wants to return to the premier league as quickly as possible. Not only for sporting, but also for pecuniary reasons. For the time being the club from Doetinchem is reasonably on course for this. In the first twelve league matches, no team managed to beat De Superboeren. The team of coach Mike Snoei played a draw five times. De Graafschap currently occupies second place in the rankings. This second place is also good for direct promotion this season.
“I don’t think we have a chance with our qualities there,” Snoei stated optimistically on De Graafschap’s club website. “Of course a lot of things have to go well,” Snoei realized. Central defender Ted van de Pavert received the direct red card in the competition match last weekend, which means he will have to watch from the stands on Tuesday. That match went well for De Graafschap. FC Dordrecht was beaten 5-0 at De Vijverberg. For the match in Arnhem, the question is whether Snoei can have Ralf Seuntjens. Mohamed Hamdaoui, twice accurate on Friday, is certainly not among them.
