Vitesse, Recent FormLosing 2-0 away to AZ won't leave the Vitesse squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 13 places above them in the league. They achieved 39% possession in that match and had 8 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against AZ's tally of 17 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. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 games.
A home win for Vitesse is just a distant memory, having not won at GelreDome in 6 games.
Sparta Rotterdam, Recent FormIn their last league encounter, Sparta Rotterdam racked up a stunning 4-0 home win against Fortuna Sittard. In that game they had 55% possession and managed 17 attempts on goal, with 9 on target, compared to Fortuna Sittard who had 14 attempts and 3 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 9 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
Goalscorer Arno Verschueren will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 5 goals in his last 6 league matches for Sparta Rotterdam.
Sparta Rotterdam recorded a 1-0 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at GelreDome, Vitesse have been unable to break through the visitor's defence and find the back of the net. De Kasteelheren will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Vitesse, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 6 meetings between the two.
Sparta will be looking to continue their winning streak against Vitesse, having won each of the last 4 times they have met in the league and being unbeaten in their last 6 meetings.
Vitesse 2 - 1 Sparta RotterdamVitesse manager Edward Sturing has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Fodé Fofana (Knee), Miliano Jonathans (Knee), Kacper Kozłowski (Illness), Mexx Meerdink (Groin), Melle Meulensteen (Groin), Mica Pinto (Knee), Davy Pröpper (Knee) and Marco van Ginkel (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Joshua Kitolano (Unknown) and Django Warmerdam (Unknown) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Jeroen Rijsdijk will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
