Vitesse, Recent FormVitesse will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-1 winners in their away fixture against Excelsior. They achieved 54% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Excelsior's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 6 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. So far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 20 of their 23 games.
It's been a bad run of form of late for them, having racked up 4 losses and only a single victory in their last 6 league matches, so they'll need to turn things around if they want to start climbing the table.
FC Twente, Recent FormLast time out, FC Twente recorded an impressive 3-0 home win against Go Ahead Eagles. Their share of possession in that meeting was 60%, while racking up 21 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target. Go Ahead Eagles had 10 shots on goal with 2 on target.
They have amassed a limited number of points from their last 6 matches, despite only letting in 2 goals; this has been primarily due to their indifferent form in front of goal with 9 goals spread across those 6 matches. When playing away from home, they have scored in 4 of their last 6 games and are on a run of 2 consecutive clean sheets.
Twente will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 away games, but with only 2 wins there is some room for improvement.
On an individual basis, Sem Steijn will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 12 goals in FC Twente's 23 league games this season.
It was no surpirise that the last time these two teams met FC Twente came out on top, winning the match 1-0.
The Vitesse defence has struggled against De Tukkers in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 7 games. Twente have a good attacking record away to Vites in the league, having scored a total of 8 goals in their last 3 visits, which gives an average of 2.67 goals per game.
In the league, Twente has had a good run of results against Vitesse, being unbeaten in their last 5 meetings.
Vitesse manager Edward Sturing has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Fodé Fofana (Knee), Miliano Jonathans (Knee), Davy Pröpper (Knee), Mathijs Tielemans (Unknown) and Marco van Ginkel (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Twente manager Joseph Oosting ahead of this clash, with Gijs Besselink (Illness) missing out, which gives Oosting a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
