Vitesse and Fortuna Sittard will battle for three points in an Eredivisie matchday 31 fixture on Sunday (April 28).
The hosts will hope to bounce back from the 6-0 thrashing at champions-in-waiting PSV Eindhoven a fortnight ago. Luuk de Jong, Malik Tillman and Andre Ramalho scored first-half goals to give the leaders a 3-0 win at the break. Johan Bakayoko and Hirving Lozano scored after the break, while De Jong completed his brace midway through the second half.
Fortuna, meanwhile, fell to a 1-0 home defeat to Feyenoord. David Hancko's 18th-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides. The loss left them in 11th spot in the points table, having garnered 35 points from 30 games. Vitesse, meanwhile, are rock-bottom of the standings.

Vitesse vs Fortuna Prediction
Vitesse were on the verge of being relegated, on account of their atrocious form throughout the season. However, they were recently docked 18 points for off-field financial irregularities, leaving them on -1 point and getting relegated. Their relegation brings an end to their 35-year spell in the top flight.
Fortuna, for their part, are winless in four league games - losing three - but are well clear of relegation worries, with 11 points separating them from the bottom-three. They have scored once in four games but will fancy their chances of claiming victory against the league's worst side.
Expect the spoils to be shared in a low-scoring stalemate.
Prediction: Vitesse 1-1 Fortuna
