Vitesse vs PSV Eindhoven Head-to-Head

Vitesse have thus far won four of their five opening Eredivisie games, with their only loss coming to Ajax in late September. Most recently, Thomas Letsch’s side defeated Den Haag 2-0 despite having a man sent off.

PSV, meanwhile, are unbeaten in domestic competition thus far, winning four and drawing one to sit at the top of the Eredivisie. However, Roger Schmidt’s side did slump to a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Spanish side Granada in the Europa League this week.

Last season saw PSV do the double over Vitesse. They smashed them 5-0 at the Philips Stadion in September 2019, and then defeated them 1-2 at the GelreDome in one of the last games before the Eredivisie was curtailed due to COVID-19.

Vitesse vs PSV Eindhoven Prediction

Vitesse have started their 2020-21 campaign strongly, but this game might be a step too far for them. They were comfortably defeated by Ajax – suggesting they have a ceiling – and with proven European talents like Mario Gotze and Denzel Dumfries, PSV may progress above that ceiling.

PSV are undefeated against Vitesse in their last 22 away games, and the likelihood is that their run will continue this weekend.

Prediction: Vitesse 0-2 PSV Eindhoven
