Vitesse vs Volendam Prediction: Derby of the bottom of Eredivisie

In the 7th round in Eredivisie two of the teams that conceded most goals so far in the league will face each other. Both teams have almost identical score after 6 rounds. Vitesse is on the 14th place with a win, a draw and 4 defeats, 6 goals scored, 15 conceded. The visitors are even in worst position, they are 16th on the table with a win, a draw, 4 defeats, 6 goals scored and 20 conceded. Both teams have a lot of problems in the squads, especially in the defensive lines so a match with a lot of goals is very realistic option.

I expect high energy in this game from Vitesse. Playing at home is a huge advantage here and even though this game might seem balanced, the advantage tilts the match in their favor. This is perfect opportunity for Vitesse to finally win at home this season and I think they will use this chance.

So far, Volendam managed to beat Twente somewhat sensationally (1:0), otherwise they have four defeats on their account and occupy sixteenth place in the Dutch championship with four points. The club from the north recently experienced a big debacle in Eindhoven, where they conceded seven goals against PSV (7:1). If that was expected considering the difference in quality, then the high defeat in Rotterdam against Sparta was not exactly (0:4). And in the last round at home, they were defeated by G. A. Eagles with 2:3 which is even more disappointing.

Both teams are really struggling this season, and they will have to fight a lot for every single point in every match if they want to avoid relegation. Vitesse perhaps can be considered as favorite here as he is playing at home, and the visiting team is in terrible form. However, from what we saw from these teams so far this season, we can expect a match with a lot of goals.
