Vitesse vs Heracles Prediction and Betting Tips

Vitesse were left empty handed in a 3-1 defeat to Fortuna Sittard at the Fortuna Sittard Stadion last week. Edward Sturing’s side have lost their last four league games and are winless in seven, claiming two points from a possible 21 since a 3-1 win over NEC Nijmegen in October.
With eight points from 14 games, Vitesse are in the penultimate spot in the Eredivisie standings, only above last-placed Volendam on goal difference.

With 15 points from 14 games, Heracles are 13th in the league table but could move level with ninth-placed Nijmegen with all three points.
