Vitesse and FC Volendam will trade tackles in an Eredivisie matchday 22 relegation six-pointer on Sunday (February 18th).
The home side are coming into the clash on the back of a harrowing 3-2 defeat away to Heracles last weekend. They raced into a two-goal lead courtesy of goals from Kacper Kozlowski and Melle Meulensteen. However, Jordy Bruijn halved the deficit on the half-hour mark before Vitesse were reduced to 10 men. Jizz Hornkamp scored a second-half brace to complete the comeback.
Volendam, meanwhile, fell to a 5-1 defeat at home to PSV Eindhoven. They went ahead through Jordan Teze's second-minute own goal. However, their lead lasted just 11 minutes, with Ismael Saibari drawing the game level in the 13th minute. Four different men, including Teze scored after the break to help Peter Bosz's side maintain their ten-point lead at the summit.
Volendam's defeat left them second-from-bottom having garnered just 12 points from 21 games. Vitesse are bottom of the standings with the same number of points.

Vitesse vs Volendam Prediction
Vitesse and Volendam are the two surefire candidates for automatic relegation and their form heading into this game does not suggest they can pull off a great escape. Both sides have an identical record across their last five and ten games, having garnered just one point and four points respectively.
This game will offer an opportunity for one side to claim three points in their quest for survival. Although one side could nick a win, we are backing the spoils to be shared in a low-scoring stalemate.
