AZ, Recent FormAZ will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 1-0 away win against PSV.
It seems pretty certain that Pascal Jansen will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 8 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 10 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Their ongoing goal scoring streak now stands at 22 games in a row. They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have had a good run of form at AFAS Stadion recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 3 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Vangelis Pavlidis will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in AZ's last 6 league games.
Vitesse, Recent FormA 2-2 draw and a point gained against Go Ahead Eagles in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent for Vitesse last time out.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 11 and seen valuable points lost. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. This season, their defensive frailties have certainly been apparent, having conceded at least 1 goal in 12 of their 14 league games.
There will be mixed feelings from Vites, while they've been undefeated in their last 3 league games away from home, they've drawn the last 2 of these games in a row.
Matúš Bero will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against AZ in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Vitesse.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was AZ that came out on top with a 3-1 win.
Playing away from home, Vitesse have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against AZ.
Playing at home, AZ have won the last 2 and are unbeaten in the last 11 times they have faced Vitesse in the league.
With only Bruno Martins Indi (Hip) and Zinho Vanheusden (Broken foot) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Pascal Jansen will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Vitesse manager Phillip Cocu ahead of this clash, with Bartosz Białek (Unknown) missing out, which gives Cocu a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
