It's still early in the Eredivisie season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Vitesse - AZ Alkmaar preview!

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Europa League. That game was also an away game, at Antwerp. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Vitesse form and stats

Only two Eredivisie home games for Vitesse so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.

Vitesse manager L. Slutskiy and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Heracles in the Eredivisie. Before that game, the 3-0 home victory against PEC Zwolle.

This is expected to be a close game, with Vitesse perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Vitesse as a small favourite), we find three games. Vitesse has won 1 of these, drawn 1 and lost 1.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Vitesse at home in the league. 5 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
