NextGOAL tip: FC Eindhoven +0.5 · 2 stars
FC Eindhoven and Vitesse meet in almost indistinguishable circumstances. Both just ended their last five matches with a defeat, and neither has won in 3 straight games, so this is the match where both sides want to stop the slide before the table starts to stretch further away. The hosts just lost 0-3 in their latest match. Overall they can still create chances going forward, but the defence lets opponents in too easily, conceding 22 goals in 10 matches. Vitesse also just lost 0-2 and have the same old problem of not scoring when the game does not fall their way. Even though overall they clearly concede fewer goals than the hosts, their recent form is not much better. The pattern should be the hosts trying to build from their own half and wait for the counter, with Vitesse having slightly more of the ball going forward, based on the last 10 matches where they clearly had more shots on target and more corners. If FC Eindhoven score first, the game should open up further and the hosts will get more space to counter. But if Vitesse take the lead first, the hosts will be forced to push higher and their already leaky defence will be at even more risk.
