The home side come into the game on the back of a 2-0 victory over DVS '33 Ermelo in the KNVB Beker on Tuesday. Goals from Daan Huisman and Lois Openda helped them secure progress to the quarterfinals of the competition.

Groningen fell to a 2-1 defeat to Nijmegen on home turf in the same competition. Calvin Verdonk and Mikkel Duelund's strikes helped the visitors secure progress.

They will each turn their attention to league action this weekend where they are in need of maximum points for markedly different reasons.

Vitesse vs Groningen Prediction

Both sides have been largely compact for most of the season, so a low-scoring game with few chances can be expected.

Vitesse have, however, been the more consistent side and have higher aspirations, hence we are backing the hosts to secure maximum points in a narrow victory.

Prediction: Vitesse 2-0 Groningen
