Willem II vs Vitesse Prediction & Betting tips
Vitesse will visit Willem II in the sixteenth finals of the KNVB Cup on Thursday evening. The Tilburg team is currently far from their top form of last season, while the Arnhem team is performing excellently.
Willem II:
At the moment the mood is not good at Willem II. Those who expect Adrie Koster to build on last season’s great performances this season have been disappointed. The long summer break did not do Willem II any good. After the successful 2019/2020 season, not even that many players left the club, but with largely the same selection as in the previous year, very little has been achieved for the time being. The Tricolores are a relegation candidate after twelve rounds of play in the Eredivisie, the facts are that hard. Last weekend, things went wrong at home against Sparta Rotterdam (1-3).
After the lost game against Sparta, the players of Willem II came together for a crisis meeting, where the technical staff were not present. “That was a good initiative from the players,” Koster told the club’s own media. Although the trainer will hope that the players have not talked about another coach. In any case, a dismissal of Koster would be unjustified. Last season, the experienced coach delivered an absolute top performance by piloting Willem II to fourth place. ‘We would all like to see it differently, that should be clear,’ says Koster.
Vitesse:
Vitesse lost points in the home game against SC Heerenveen last Sunday. The Arnhemmers performed well in the first half of the game against the Frisians, and took a deserved lead. After the break, Vitesse’s shown game was less strong. One had to settle for one point (1-1). In the ranking, Vitesse was passed by PSV and Feyenoord. The yellow-blacks are now in fourth place, which is still creditable.
Feyenoord is the next opponent of Vitesse in the Eredivisie. On Sunday the Rotterdammers will visit the Gelredome. Trainer Thomas Letsch said this week, however, that he would not save any players for Sunday’s top match. In Germany, coaches often use the cup tournament to give permanent employees a break and to give other players the chance, but Letsch, if he spoke the truth, is not from this school. Attacker Armando Broja is still in quarantine and is not available for the match in Tilburg.
