Feyenoord vs Vitesse prediction: NETHERLANDS: Eredivisie betting tips on match 2023-05-27 12:30.
The celebrations at Feyenoord Rotterdam began long ago, and the club has already secured their 16th Eredivisie title (and second of the 21st century), but that is perhaps no reason for manager Arne Slot to treat the final round like a party. After all, they went into last week’s round as national champions, but the professional outfit secured a 3-1 win at Emmen with the kind of starting lineup that has served them well all year. Slot will get the welcome’s hero at De Kuip this weekend, particularly after Thursday’s news that he has snubbed Tottenham to stay on for three more years.
Feyenoord had not defeated Vitesse Arnhem in their last six attempts (D3, L3) prior to this season, but of course everything is different in 2022/23. The clubs kicked off their differing campaigns with a 5-2 win to Feyenoord in Arnhem in the opening round, setting the tone for the season as the first of Feyenoord’s 16 3+ goal hauls for the 2022/23 Eredivisie. Courtesy of 13 consecutive wins, they’re now a mammoth ten points ahead of the next best club.
It has overall been a season to forget for Vitesse, but compared with a few months ago when they were on the verge of becoming relegation contenders, things are now looking much brighter. Phillip Cocu’s side will be playing in the next Eredivisie as a tenant of the Gelredome after a long running rental dispute, and whilst there’s nothing to play for this weekend in terms of European qualification and the like, Vitesse should be motivated by the potential of ending the season above arch-rivals NEC Nijmegen.
Feyenoord has often struggled to keep LoĂŻs Openda under control in recent H2Hs, but this time around it is another speed demon who could be a threat to the champions this weekend. 21-year-old Million Manhoef racked up a hat-trick and an assist last week and was also involved in both goals in the reverse H2H (G1, A1).
Players to watch: Danilo gave Feyenoord the win last week by scoring twice, something he also did in the meeting with Vitesse at the beginning of this season. Meanwhile, Melle Meulensteen will be looking for his first away strike of the season after a goal and assist in their 6-0 win at home to Groningen last round.
Hot stat: Just one of Vitesse’s last seven league games saw both teams score on the day.
