RKC Waalwijk, Recent FormRKC Waalwijk will not be too disheartened with their 1-0 away defeat at the hands of Go Ahead Eagles who sit 11 places above them in the table. They came away from that fixture with 46% of the possession and clocked up 19 attempts on goal with 6 on target. By comparison, Go Ahead Eagles managed 22 attempts on goal, with 8 on target.
Having conceded 7 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 4 points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 21 of their 24 games overall.
With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table. Their form has been poor this season, losing 16 of 24 league games.
Michiel Kramer will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for RKC Waalwijk.
Vitesse, Recent FormVitesse will not be too troubled by their 2-1 home defeat against FC Twente, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. They achieved 54% possession in that match and had 6 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against FC Twente's tally of 15 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Edward Sturing will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 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. This season they have failed to score in 6 of their 12 away games and conceded at least one goal in 21 of their 24 games overall.
They've had a dismal run of form on their travels recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 away games, a solitary win providing little consolation. The've certainly not managed to shine on their travels so far this season, losing 9 of their 12 away league games.
It was not a positive ending for Vitesse last time they met RKC Waalwijk in the league, with the game ending in a 0-2 defeat.
RKC have managed to keep a clean sheet against Vites in each of their previous 2 meetings. RKC will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 6 encounters with Vites.
Vitesse have lost the last 2 times they've faced RKC in the league and have failed to win in their last 4 encounters.
With only Nouri El Harmazi (Shoulder) and Mats Seuntjens (Unknown) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Henk Fraser will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Edward Sturing has a number of injury concerns in his Vitesse squad to contend with: Amine Boutrah (Ankle), Fodé Fofana (Knee), Miliano Jonathans (Knee), Davy Pröpper (Knee) and Marco van Ginkel (Hamstring)
