Vitesse and PSV Eindhoven lock horns at the Gelredome on Saturday for matchday two of the 2023-24 season in the Dutch Eredivisie. Both sides will be keen to build on their winning start.
Vitesse, the Arnhem outfit, beat FC Volendam after fighting back from an early deficit. Robert Muhren scored within 10 minutes of the kick-off for the hosts but was also sent off just before halftime.
In the second stanza, Vitesse capitalized on their numerical advantage as Mathijs Tielemans and Marco van Ginkel struck a goal each to turn the match around and hand the visitors a 2-1 victory.
PSV, on the other hand, have been on a roll this campaign, winning all four of their official clashes this season. The Cheeseheads began with a 1-0 defeat of Feyenoord in the Johan Cruyff Shield, and a week later, they started their Eredivisie campaign with a 2-0 win over Utrecht.
On either side of these wins were a pair of 4-1 and 3-1 victories over Sturm Graz in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round.

Vitesse vs PSV Prediction
Vitesse demonstrated excellent fighting spirit on the opening day to turn around an early deficit before winning. PSV, however, are a much stronger side on paper and their record in the fixture is so lop-sided that they are the automatic favorites.
The Cheeseheads drew on their last visit to Vitesse, but we expect them to pick up a win here.
