http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vitesse-c40905 to four consecutive victories and he would be keen to keep his side’s winning streak intact, when they take on Peter Bosz’s men on Saturday at home.
On Eredivisie matchday six, Vitesse Arnhem will battle against Heracles Almelo at GelreDome Stadion on Saturday, September 22.
Vitesse Arnhem
The Arnhem outfit are heading into the match on the back of an impressive 3-0 win against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Groningen-c39119 at Euroborg Stadion on September 16. The Arnhem-based club staged an exciting show throughout the 90 minutes, and goals from
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mike-Havenaar-c25700, Tomas Kalas and Wilfried Bony secured a comfortable win at the end.
After finishing seventh on the league table last season, Vitesse are aiming to finish in the top three Eredivisie sides at the end of the ongoing campaign.
Occupying the second spot on the Eredivisie table, the Arnhem outfit have made a brilliant start to the 2012/13 season. They have an overall record of 5 played, 4 won and 1 drawn.
Fred Rutten, the Vitesse boss, is satisfied with his side’s thus far performances, and would be hoping that his troops keep their impressive form intact for as long as possible.
Heracles Almelo
The Heraclieden are brimming with confidence after registering their first win of the 2012/13 campaign against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Schalk, late goals
from Willy Overtoom and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c39043 Ramos da Silva secured a hard fought 2-1 win for the Almelo outfit.
Occupying the 11th spot on the league table, the Almelo-based club has thus far deceived their fans with erratic showings. They have an overall record of 5 played, 1 won, 2 drawn and 2 lost.
Peter Bosz, the Heraclieden boss, was extremely delighted with his side’s performance last week. However, the Dutch trainer stressed that his side will need to stage a far better show against the Arnhem outfit if they are to secure
a good result.
Head-to-Head statistics
The Arnhem-based club has remained the dominant side in their last five meetings against Heracles. They managed to emerge victorious in four games, while the Heraclieden cruised to a victory in the remaining encounter.
Players to watch
Wilfried Bony – Vitesse Arnhem
The Ivorian attacker has remained the most consistent performer for the Arnhem outfit since his arrival at GelreDome Stadion in the summer of 2011. The 23-year-old has already netted three goals in five league games, and would
be keen to add more to his tally in the upcoming encounter at home.
Everton Ramos da Silva – http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Heracles-Almelo-c39520
The 29-year-old had an impressive outing against NAC last week. The Brazilian forward not only set up Willy Overtoom to score the equaliser, he also netted the winner in the injury time to help his side claim all three points at
the end. The veteran will be hoping to enjoy another eventful evening in Arnhem this Saturday, and help his side in securing a good result.
Prediction
The Arnhem outfit’s recent form coupled with the home advantage puts them the favourites to bag all three points on Saturday.
Predicted score-line: Vitesse 2-1 Heracles.
