Week 31 brings us a match on May 1st where Go Ahead Eagles and Vitesse will play a match in Deventer in a Eredivisie match. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 10 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. Go Ahead Eagles is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Fortuna Sittard. Zian Flemming scored the first goal for Fortuna Sittard in the 21st minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Go Ahead Eagles couldn’t muster any offence and Fortuna Sittard ran away with the shutout win. Go Ahead Eagles is looking for direction having 4 win and 4 losses in their last 10 matches, while vitesse is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Willem II. Jizz Hornkamp struck first for Willem II in the 4th minute on a feed from Leeroy Owusu, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Vitesse couldn’t muster any offence and Willem II ran away with the shutout win. Vitesse looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 8 points in their last 10 matches.
In their last match on the 24th of October, Go Ahead Eagles won by a score of 2 to 1 in front of almost 13000 spectators. Loïs Openda struck first for Vitesse in the 3rd minute on a penalty kick, then Íñigo Córdoba tied it up for Go Ahead Eagles in the 53rd minute on a feed from Luuk Brouwers But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 91st minute on a penalty goal by Brouwers.
Loïs Openda has been the most prolific scorer on Vitesse in his last five matches with two goals. Mats Deijl and Brouwers are the top scorers for Go Ahead Eagles in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats
Go Ahead Eagles will be without Jay Idzes, Sam Crowther and Ioannis Foivos Botos, while Thomas Letsch’s Vitesse squad will be without Yann Gboho, Thomas Buitink, Maximilian Wittek and Jeroen Houwen.
