Where the model differs from the table
The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour MVV (8th, with Vitesse 11th), while our numbers lean to Vitesse. Vitesse rate 0.52 in attack and 1.43 in defence, MVV 0.45 and 1.95 (lower is better in defence), so Vitesse have been the better side at both ends on recent expected goals, which the 2-point gap in the table does not yet show.
What this result changed
Before kick-off the season simulation gave MVV a 20.7% chance to finish in the bottom three: 14.4% after a win, 19.9% after a draw, 24.8% after a defeat. The win was the best of those results for them, and left the figure at 14.4%, 6.3 points lower than before the match.
For Vitesse the question was the chance to finish in the top eight, 52.8% going in: 60.0% after a win, 50.2% after a draw, 45.5% after a defeat. The defeat was the worst of those results for them, and left the figure at 45.5%, 7.3 points lower than before the match.

Why the model favours this side
The model gives Vitesse the highest probability at 39%, based on each side's rolling attack and defence ratings estimated from recent match data. The model projects 1.05 expected goals for MVV against 1.22 for Vitesse. MVV's attack/defence rating is 0.45/1.95 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 0.52/1.43 for Vitesse.
How the model reaches 39% for Vitesse to win
Start from two average sides on neutral ground: 36% for Vitesse to win. Then home advantage takes away 7 points, the level of the two sides takes away 1 point, MVV's ratings add 5 points and Vitesse's ratings add 6 points, which lands on the published 39%.
