The hosts Vitesse saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the KNVB Beker. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Willem II.
Vitesse form and stats
Home games in the Eredivisie have been a walk in the park for Vitesse so far, with 16 points won from 6 matches; 5 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses.
A strong away win for Vitesse against Willem II the last match, as Million Manhoef and Thomas Buitink were on target. In the match before that, Vitesse hosted SC Heerenveen and drew the Eredivisie game 1-1.
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 two games. Vitesse has won one of these, drawn zero and lost one.
Vitesse are traveling soon after this match as the Eredivisie match at AZ Alkmaar awaits in three days.
Goals decide football matches and Vitesse are scoring many of them at home; 13 on target from 6 league matches. As for guarding their own goal, Vitesse have only let in 3 goals at home.
Feyenoord form and stats
Rock solid. That's the only way to describe the travels of Feyenoord so far, with 5-1-0 (wins-draws-losses) so far. Those are Eredivisie statistics. It’s been three wins in a row for Feyenoord on their travels, an amazing performance which inspire hopes of making this one the fourth consecutive victory.
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Feyenoord goalkeeper Nick Marsman is eager to challenge this, with his 220 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
It's the second away game in a row for Feyenoord, but there's smiles all around after the 3-0 victory versus VVV-Venlo (placed 15th) in the Eredivisie last time out. It was a Europa League defeat before that one as the away game against Wolfsberger AC wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found three similar matches played by Feyenoord in our archives, and the results are: one win for Feyenoord, one draw and one defeat.
A quick return to home after this game, as Feyenoord are hosting SC Heerenveen in the Eredivisie only three days away.
