The Vitesse manager L. Slutskiy attacks this game with the team placed 8th so far. In the visitors dressing room PEC Zwolle and their manager J. Stegeman are in 16th place before this match.

Vitesse and PEC Zwolle should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting PEC Zwolle have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 8-5-16 (win-draw-loss) from 29 matches.
