Vitesse vs RKC Waalwijk Prediction

Vitesse are the favorites in the game but RKC Waalwijk could pose a threat due to their quest to avoid the drop. Joseph Oosting's side showed their capabilities when they pushed Ajax all the way a few weeks ago and Vitesse will not underrate their visitors.

However, Vitesse's superior quality should see them through. We are backing the hosts to secure a comfortable victory in addition to a clean sheet.

Prediction: Vitesse 2-0 RKC Waalwijk
