Vitesse form and stats

Things could have gone better for Vitesse in their Eredivisie away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.

Vitesse have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 341 minutes ago. van Ginkel was the goal scorer.

There might be some fixture complaints from Vitesse as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, 0-1 against Sparta Rotterdam. Defender Isimat-Mirin was the best team player with a rating of 7.45. Isimat-Mirin won 9 of 12 duels.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-2 defeat against RKC Waalwijk.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Vitesse played away with similar odds. This revealed 4 games. The visitors overcame the odds to win 2 times, 1 were draw and the home team won as expected 1 time.

Vitesse have another match away in just four nights, a Eredivisie match against NEC. A rough timetable for the visitors!

It's early days yet, but Vitesse has scored 2 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

FC Twente have managed a streak of 4 consecutive matches without losing (3-1-0) when facing Vitesse.
