FC Twente - Vitesse betting tips and odds

The odds are definitely leaning in the hosts’ favour, but this match is far from a done deal. Judging by odds alone, Vitesse may yet be able to walk away with a draw or even a surprise victory – though it’s still a longshot.

From the current viewpoint, the situation is straightforward. Given the strength of FC Twente and the fact that Vitesse are given 8.00 odds to win, it is easy to see that an Vitesse victory would be a shocking surprise.

FC Twente performed well below expectations in the previous round. The 6.50 betting odds heavily implied they were the favourites even though they were playing away, so the tie score at half-time was already a cause for concern. An unexpected concession in the second half brought about the 1:0 away loss they ended up recording.

Vitesse lost their previous Eredivisie game against Sparta Rotterdam, which was anticipated by most betting predictions. They played as visitors against a considerably stronger team, after all. Sparta Rotterdam took the lead in the first half and narrowly won the game 1:0.

With over 5 goals over their past 3 home games, FC Twente is not a team you want to meet at home. They’ll be looking to extend this trend as much as possible, so Vitesse will need to be careful.

FC Twente have a relatively recent victory on record against Vitesse. It happened last season, but they managed to secure a hefty goal difference as well. With that in mind, their position as the favourites in this matchup makes a lot of sense.

The hosts went through a slew of unfortunate injuries recently, rendering some of their players unavailable for the match this Wednesday. Max Bruns, Gijs Smal, Joshua Brenet, Naci Ünüvar will not be playing, though the team is still considered likely to win.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 1 odds offer a decent return.
