Almere City vs Vitesse Prediction and Betting Tips
The action continues in round 16 of the Eredivisie as Almere City and Vitesse square off in a thrilling bottom-half-of-the-table clash at the Yanmar Stadion on Sunday. Edward Sturing’s men head into the weekend fresh off the back of ending their four-game losing streak and will look to keep the ball rolling.
Almere City were left empty-handed once again as they fell to a 4-1 hammering at the hands of AZ Alkmaar last Saturday. Alex Pastoor’s side have now lost three matches on the bounce since scraping a 1-0 friendly victory over Belgian outfit KRC Genk on November 15. With 13 points from 15 matches, Almere City are currently 16th in the Eredivisie table, two points and one place above Sunday’s visitors.
Vitesse, on the other hand, returned to winning ways last weekend when they edged out Heracles Almelo 2-0 at the Gelredome. Prior to that, Edward Sturing’s men were on a four-game losing streak, conceding a staggering 16 goals and scoring just three in that time.
While Vitesse will look to build on their result over Heracles, they have struggled to get going away from home, where they have lost six of their eight matches this season.
