Week 26 brings us a match on Mar 19th where Vitesse will host PSV at Gelredome in a clash of the Eredivisie. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 7 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. Vitesse is fresh off their 1-3 loss against Sparta Rotterdam. Alois Oroz scored the first goal for Vitesse in the 7th minute, then Arno Verschueren got the equalizer for Sparta Rotterdam in the 11th minute on a feed from Vito van Crooy But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 45th minute on a goal by Koki Saito. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 4th placed PSV, recorded a 5-2 win against SC Cambuur. R. Balk struck first for SC Cambuur in the 22nd minute, then Xavi Simons tied it up for PSV in the 25th minute on a feed from Joey Veerman But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 54th minute on a goal by Patrick van Aanholt. With 21 points in their last 10 matches PSV should be reasonably happy with their performance.
