Vitesse vs Venlo Prediction & Betting tips
On Tuesday and Wednesday the two finalists will be determined in the Dutch KNVB Beker – the cup competition. Regardless of how the first semi-final between Vitesse Arnheim and Venlo will turn out, hardly anyone would have expected this finalist before the season. The outsider duel offers a huge opportunity for both clubs.
This clear favorite role is understandable given the placement in the current Eredivisie table. The home side are playing an outstanding season and are currently in fourth place, Venlo is in 15th place and is fighting to stay in the league. The first semifinals start on Tuesday evening at 20:00 p.m.
Vitesse Arnhem:
In recent years Vitesse Arnheim has established itself in the top half of the table and has achieved a single-digit position without interruption since the 2011/12 season. Despite being seventh in the shortened 2019/20 season, this season started with a new coach. The German Thomas Letsch (with Austria Wien until March 2019) was introduced as the new trainer.
It was an absolute stroke of luck for the club, because under Letsch, the club took another big step forward. After playing 24 games, there are 45 points on the credit side, the last time the club had these points in the 2012/13 season. At the same time last season, for example, Vitesse had seven points less on the account.
Thanks to the outstanding performance in the league, the Letsch-Elf still has two realistic chances of winning the ticket for the Europa League and the associated international return. In particular, the home strength should give the fans courage, because Vitesse Arnheim won nine of the twelve home games in the current Eredivisie season, the Letsch-Elf conceded the only defeat almost two weeks ago against Twente Enschede.
Venlo :
The city of Venlo is right on the German border. Accordingly, there have been German players in the past who tried their luck at the Eredivisie Club. There are also several German players in the current squad who can still dream of making it to the finals.
In the 1958/59 season, VVV Venlo achieved the greatest success in the club’s history with the cup victory and is now dreaming of repeating this triumph. With the 2-1 victory in the quarter-finals against NEC Nijmegen, Venlo is back in the semifinals of the KNVB Beker for the first time in 33 years.
For head coach Hans de Koning, reaching the finals would be a wonderful conclusion, because his contract, which expires at the end of the season, will not be extended. De Koning would like to have planning security that the club cannot (or will not) give him at the moment. Accordingly, the paths will separate in summer.
