It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just the lone fitness concern for the Vitesse boss John van den Brom to be concerned with due to a largely intact group. Alexander Büttner (Hamstring injury) won’t play.

📋 Team News: Den Bosch

Due to a mostly healthy squad, there’s just a single fitness problem for the Den Bosch boss Ulrich Landvreugd to contend with. Sebastian Karlsson Grach (unknown injury) won’t be playing here.

🧠 Prediction

We feel that Den Bosch and Vitesse may well both score at least one goal each although picking a clear a winner isn’t easy.

Let’s see how it plays out, but we expect to see goals and there is to be a real possibility it will end up level. With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a hard-fought 2-2 score when the full-time whistle blows.
