Vitesse vs. Utrecht – Score prediction (05.10.2019)

Overview.

Yet to taste defeat at home in the Eredivisie (W3, D1), Vitesse look to continue a run which has seen them pick up more points at this stage than in eight of the last nine campaigns. All four of Vitesse’s home league games so far have seen over 2.5 goals and average an impressive 4.0 total goals per match. Though unbeaten here, Vitesse are typically slow starters. The hosts have not yet led at half-time at home in the league (HT: D3, L1), and just two of their 11 goals came before the break (81.82% second half). What’s more, the 76-90 minute period has proven their most fruitful, with 45.45% of their total home goals coming during this time-frame.

Visiting coach John van den Brom has an extensive H2H record vs Vitesse (W7, D3, L4) and is unbeaten in three matches vs Leonid Slutsky sides (W1, D2). Notably, Brom is unbeaten in each of the last five clashes with Vitesse (W3, D2) and five of his seven overall victories came via a single-goal margin. Despite Utrecht’s strong league position, they have won just once on their travels (W1, D2, L1 – 35.71% of points). Moreover, they have not won when betting outsiders away from home in the league once since the start of last season (D1, L5).
