Vitesse, Recent FormIt was just a point apiece for Vitesse and FC Emmen in their last match, which ended in a 2-2 draw.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 8 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 7, and leading to valuable points being dropped. Having shipped at least a single goal in 17 of their 20 league matches this season, they don't have an enviable defensive record this campaign.
They've drawn their last 2 league games at GelreDome, but their search for a home win in the league extends even further having gone 3 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
FC Utrecht, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 1-0 home win over SC Heerenveen in their last league game, FC Utrecht will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 10 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 10 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games. It's an excellent time to be in amongst their travelling support, with the team finding the back of the net in 9 of their away league games this season.
Utrecht will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
With 7 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Tasos Douvikas has given the travelling FC Utrecht support something to shout about on the road.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Vitesse who ended up empty-handed, losing 1-0 to FC Utrecht.
The Utreg defence has struggled at GelreDome, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 24 visits.
Vitesse has had a good run of league results at home to Utrecht, winning their last 4 meetings and being unbeaten in their last 6.
With only Sondre Tronstad (Hamstring) and Marco van Ginkel (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Phillip Cocu will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Michael Silberbauer has a number of injury concerns in his Utrecht squad to contend with: Bas Dost (Foot), Ramon Hendriks (Cruciate ligament), Bart Ramselaar (Knee), Tommy St. Jago (Knee) and Django Warmerdam (Knee)
