FC Utrecht, Recent FormFC Utrecht manager Ron Jans will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against RKC Waalwijk. They achieved 62% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against RKC Waalwijk's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
With 15 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, Jans will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 10 goals in the same period. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 6 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 12 games.
On an individual basis, Sam Lammers is on a hot scoring streak recently having scored in each of FC Utrecht's last 7 league games.
Vitesse, Recent FormVitesse will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 3-2 home win against Fortuna Sittard. They came away from that fixture with a 50% share of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 6 on target, in comparison to Fortuna Sittard, who managed 19 attempts on goal, 10 of which were on target.
Edward Sturing, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 18 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 5 goals scored. They've conceded a goal in each of their last 15 away games, and over the course of the season they have failed to score in 8 of their 15 games on the road.
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 not managed to settle at all away from home this season, losing 12 of their 15 league games on the road.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Vitesse, Paxten Aaronson will be looking to add more goals against FC Utrecht in this match.
The previous meeting between these two sides was not one to live long in the memory; that match finished without a goal, and both teams settling for a point apiece.
In the previous 2 league encounters between these two teams, Utrecht have failed to score a single goal against Vites. Playing at home, Utrecht have scored in 3 of their last 3 league games against Vitesse.
