ℹ️ Team News: Vitesse

There’s just the sole fitness concern for the Vitesse boss John van den Brom to contend with due to a largely intact group. Alexander Büttner (Hamstring injury) won’t play.

📋 Team News: Den Bosch

From a largely healthy group of players, there is only the one fitness issue for the Den Bosch gaffer Ulrich Landvreugd to be concerned with. Sebastian Karlsson Grach (unknown injury) misses out for this game.

⚡ 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.
