Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Match outcome: Draw — 3.36
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Vitesse to win either half: YES — 1.91
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Total goals: Under 2.5 — 1.77
There’s a chance this game could end in a draw because Vitesse drew three of their last five Eredivisie matches and one of the draws came away from home. Both teams are somewhat even in form, hence expecting the spoils to be shared.
Because both teams are in similar form, I think this game could be a game of either half, hence expecting Vitesse to win in any half.
Three of Emmen’s last four matches ended with under 2.5 goals while two of Vitesse’s last four games ended with less than three goals. For this reason, there’s a chance this game could end with less than three goals.
Emmen may have lacked consistency this season but they boast 1-0 win over ten men PSV last week. In their last four matches, they won just one and lost two and in their last five Eredivisie matches, Emmen won only one and lost three matches including last weekend’s 2-0 loss at RKC Waalwijk, who played the majority of the second half with ten men. Due to their poor performances, they occupy the 16th position with 15 points after 19 matches.
Vitesse have three draws in their last five Eredivisie matches but they bounced back to winning ways following a commanding 3-1 win over Heerenveen away from home. The Vites FC are three points and two places above Emmen after the same number of games as the hosts.
Because both teams are in similar form, it’s somewhat tricky to back either team to win this game at full-time, hence there’s a significant possibility both teams could share the spoils.
Although both teams have struggled in the face of goal this season, there’s a chance both teams could get on the scoreboard and the game still end all square.
Because there’s a chance this game might finish without producing at least three goals, backing the game to end with less than four goals should be safe.
