Vitesse vs Sparta Rotterdam prediction: NETHERLANDS: Eredivisie betting tips on match 2022-11-04 15:30.
After an incredibly difficult start to the season, Phillip Cocu's Vitesse are now managing to turn their hard work into victories. The first nine games brought the Arnhemmers only one win (D2, L6), but wins in their two most recent games began to bring them back on track – though they came either side of being knocked out of the KNVB Cup by amateur side Kozakken Boys.
For years, Vitesse has had a hand in bringing talented young players to Arnhem on a regular basis, and this season the youngsters are once again playing a big role at the club. With Ryan Flamingo, Bartosz Białek, Million Manhoef, Kacper Kozłowski and Gabriel Vidovic, more than half of Vitesse's goalscorers in the Eredivisie are 20 years old or younger.
Supporters of Sparta Rotterdam are at their beck and call this season. They saw their favourite club collect as many as twenty points in the first twelve rounds of the season, securing sixth spot in the Eredivisie for now. The Kasteel club has been hugely consistent in the results they have achieved this season, particularly against lesser opposition.
Sparta has so far played six games against top-half clubs and managed to win none of them (D1, L5), but their six duels with bottom-half opposition have all led to three points on each occasion. When considering the current position of their opponents, Sparta can take to the Arnhem turf on Saturday with their chests pumped and heads high!
Players to watch: Ryan Flamingo, despite his defensive position, is among the players who have already scored two goals for Vitesse this season. At Sparta, Vito van Crooij is in the form of his life. His last six appearances in the Eredivisie produced three goals and four assists.
Hot stat: Sparta won seven of the last 10 official H2Hs.
