Vitesse Arnhem has not played an official match this season, Eredivisie will start on August 10, 2018. In the first round, the team coached by Leonid Slutsky will play on August 12 with FC Groningen at 15:30. This summer, Vitesse Arnhe played 4 friendly matches with Wolfsberger AC (1-2), Shakhtar Donetsk (1-4), Arsenal Tula (2-2) and Lokomotiv Moscow (3-0). Vitesse Arnhem finished 6th in last season in the Netherlands, with 49 points. Arnhem’s group score was 13 wins, 10 draws and 11 defeats, goal 63-47. Vitas played for the Europa League playoff with ADO Den Haag (2-1 and 5-2) and FC Utrecht (2-1 and 3-2), managing to qualify in the second round of the Europa League. In the previous season, the Dutch team played directly in Group K o Europa League, ranking the last place after Lazio SS Roma, OGC Nice and Zulte Waregem. Prior to this group qualification, Vitesse was eliminated by Petrolul Ploieşti in the 2013-2014 (1-1 and 1-2) season and Southampton FC in the 2015-2016 season (0-3 and 0-2). The team coached by Russian Leonid Slutsky will do his best to eliminate FC Viitorul, especially as he would have a much more attractive and profitable match in the next round with PAOK Thessaloniki or FC Basel. The “Yellow-Blacks” have played so far twice in the European Cups with teams from Romania, with Rapid Bucharest and Petrolul Ploiesti, both in the Europa League.
FC Viitorul has already played 5 official games this season, 2-0 and 0-0 with RFCU Luxembourg, 0-1 with Danube Calarasi, 2-2 with Vitesse Arnhem and 1-1 with Concordia Chiajna. In the last match, FC Viitorul had a lot of chances at Chiajna with Concordia in the second leg of Betano 1, but missed and in the finals barely scored 1-1 (Andrei Marc 32 – Houri 89). FC Viitorul is a weak championship debut, because in the 5 official matches of this season, played in the Europa League and Liga 1 Betano, he failed to win only once in Luxembourg. In all these games the team trained by Gheorghe Hagi dominated, but he missed a huge. The team plays well, attacks, but at the end it fails to score, not even the penalty. The constants have been in the bar or missed from ideal positions. With Vitesse Arnhem the Romanians had 2-0, but the lack of experience made them unable to maintain or increase their advantage, being equal. At 2-0 was the penetration score on the right. At 2-1, they defended, and their team was favorite. The future will not lose and will have to score at the “GelreDome” stadium, because at the score 0-0, Vitesse will be the team that will qualify in the third qualifying round of the Europa League. KAA Gent, APOEL Nicosia and FC Red Bull Salzburg were the teams that eliminated FC Viitorul in the European Cups so far. The patronized and trained team of Gheorghe Hagi only passed RFCU Luxembourg, but hopes to eliminate Vitesse Arnhem.
