The home supporters can't complain about results here at GelreDome as Vitesse, who have the fewest conceded goals (8) at home in Eredivisie, have scored 23 goals to get 34 points from 15 games. The overall stats in the Eredivisie are 10-4-1 (wins-draws-losses). Vitesse have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 180 minutes without scoring a league goal. O. Tannane was the last player to find the net. Nothing to worry about in defence for Vitesse, as their goalkeeper Remko Pasveer has completely shut out the opponents for 250 minutes in the Eredivisie.

Vitesse drew their last game, 0-0 away at Feyenoord (placed 5th). Prior to that, an away loss at Ajax in the KNVB Beker.

Two travels in a row for Zwolle, whose manager B. Konterman could celebrate last time after the Eredivisie win against SC Heerenveen. That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus FC Twente.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day.
