Vitesse hosts Cambuur Leeuwarden in the 2nd round of the Eredivisie football league.
Something is wrong with Vitesse … they ended last season with a 9 match winless run, were horrible in friendlies and were slaughtered 4-1 by Ajax in the first round of this season (but truth to be told they were unlucky). Basically only 1 win in the last 16 games for Vitesse … 1-0 in a friendly with Bolton. The team does not have the same value as in last years, they lost important players like Christian Atsu this summer but still they should play better. The defense is horrible and the attack is not effective enough to compensate. The fact that their performance in the 1-4 loss to Ajax was the best in a very long time speaks a lot. Team news for Vitesse say that Mori is out.
Vitesse lineup: Velthuizen – Wallace, Kashia, Heijden, Kruiswijk – Leerdam, Vejinovic, Propper – Traore, Qazaishvili, Labyad
Cambuur is a decent mid table team in Eredivisie … last season they finished on 12th place, this season started very well with a 1-1 draw with Twente at home. But the problem for Cambuur is that they are very poor when traveling. Last season they had ZERO wins, 7 draws and 10 losses away from home. Team news for Cambuur say that Barto, De Ridder, Streek and Narsingh are out – but they missed last game too and Cambuur has no new absences.
Cambuur lineup: Nienhuiis – Droste, Reijnen, Bijker, Pereira – Bakker, Makrini, Rusnak – Meleg, Hemmen, Ogbeche
Sure Vitesse is the better team and they will start winning at some point but until they prove they recover, bets on them are off. Cambuur is poor on the road but proved they can at least get draws (7 in 17 matches last year). Vitesse is in a slump for a very long time and judging by the performances in the 1st round I think an upset looks likely. My tip will be Cambuur x2 double chance; the odds for this bet have a lot of value in my eyes. Correct score prediction: Vitesse – Cambuur Leeuwarden 1-1.
