Vitesse vs PEC Zwolle Prediction and Betting Tips | October 26th 2023

Round 10 of the Dutch Eredivisie gets underway on Friday when Vitesse and PEC Zwolle go head-to-head at the Gelredome Stadium.

Johnny Jansen’s men will be looking to get one over the home side, having lost their last three meetings since December 2020.

Vitesse failed to return to winning ways last Saturday when they suffered a 4-0 thrashing against a spirited Feyenoord side at De Kuip.

Prior to that, Phillip Cocu’s men snapped their three-game losing streak on October 1 courtesy of a 3-1 victory over NEC Nijmegen, one week before playing out a goalless draw with Excelsior.

While Vitesse will be looking to find their feet this weekend, they now return home, where they currently hold the division’s worst points tally, having picked up just one point from four games so far.

Elsewhere, PEC Zwolle turned in a fine show of fighting spirit as they came from behind to claim a 4-2 victory over Excelsior last Sunday.

Jansen’s men were previously on a four-match winless run, picking up one draw before suffering three back-to-back defeats in the league.

With 10 points from nine matches, Vitesse are currently ninth in the Eredivisie standings, three points and five places above Friday’s hosts.
