Vitesse form and stats

Vitesse have played three Eredivisie home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Vitesse, who played 1-1 against Fortuna Sittard. That match was also played at this venue (GelreDome). Midfield player Sondre Tronstad got a match rating of 7.84 in that game, the max score being 10. Tronstad hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times and had 60 successful passes (of 73 total).

In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting FC Groningen.

Vitesse have scored 2 league goals here from 3 matches, not a lot. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Vitesse have allowed the opposition to score 8 goals here at GelreDome.

Feyenoord form and stats

It's gone fairly well in the Eredivisie away games so far for Feyenoord with six points collected from three matches.

Feyenoord had fun at their own home (GelreDome) last time out, beating NEC 5-3. Orkun Kökçü, Cyriel Dessers, Luis Sinisterra and Guus Til (2) scored. As you can tell from the result, the match against NEC was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 8 goals, will the fun continue today? Midfielder Orkun Kökçü was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.8. Kökçü scored one goal, served one assist, hit two key passes and had 89 successful passes (of 97 total).

Prior to that match, a home win 3-1 against SC Heerenveen.

The prediction for this game is lots of goals as Feyenoord alone have scored more than three on average in their league games away (9 from 3 played). 3 goals have been conceded by Feyenoord in these games.
