Vitesse, Recent FormOn the back of a tough 5-0 away defeat by Almere City, Vitesse manager Edward Sturing will have some work to do to get his team in a confident mindset.
They have found the net 5 times in their last 6 matches, but it hasn't earned them much points-wise due to a leaky defence that's shipped 21 goals in that same period. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, and this season they have failed to score in 8 of their 16 games.
Having clocked up 5 defeats from their previous 6 matches, recent form is something they will certainly be looking to change. With 11 defeats across 16 games in the league this season, their form has been very disappointing.
FC Utrecht, Recent FormFC Utrecht were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 1-1 draw against RKC Waalwijk.
Ron Jans will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 9 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 6 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. So far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 14 of their 16 games.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 8 games in a row.
On an individual basis, Victor Jensen has scored in each of FC Utrecht's last 0 league games.
It was not a positive ending for FC Utrecht last time they met Vitesse in the league, with the game ending in a 2-0 defeat.
The Utreg defence has struggled at GelreDome, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 25 visits.
Utrecht will be hoping to get at least a point from this game having lost the last 5 times they've visited Vitesse in the league and not won this away fixture at GelreDome for 7 games in a row.
Vitesse manager Edward Sturing has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match.
