Vitesse vs Mura prediction, preview, team news and more | UEFA Europa Conference League 2021-22
Vitesse host Mura at the GelreDom in Armhem on Thursday in their final group match of the Europa Conference League.
Second in Group G with seven points, the Vites are competing with Tottenham Hotspur for a place in the preliminary round.
A win is a must unless Spurs lose to Rennes in the other game, because in that case, a draw would be enough to go through.
However, if both sides win, then the group runner-up will be decided on goal difference.
Meanwhile, Mura are bottom with only three points and already eliminated from the race.
However, the side caused their biggest upset in history with a 2-1 defeat of Antonio Conte's side on the last matchday.
Vitesse vs Mura Head-To-Head
The September reverse between the sides was their first-ever clash in Europe.
Vitesse came away with a comfortable 2-0 victory in Maribor courtesy of goals from Sondre Tronstad and Danilho Doekhi.
