Vitesse have fought quite a few losing battles for points this league season. Can the team get a victory when PSV stop by GelreDome?
- Vitesse have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- PSV have the most scored goals in the second half (39) in Eredivisie
Vitesse and PSV 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.
Vitesse form and stats
Vitesse's struggle is real here at GelreDome with only 10 points collected from 12 Eredivisie games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-4-6. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Vitesse with their four defeats in a row. Not since the FC Utrecht game, 35 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
Vitesse are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Sparta Rotterdam. Scherpen had a busy but productive day in the Sparta Rotterdam match. Despite making seven saves the loss could not be prevented.
Preceding that match was the home game against AZ that was lost 0-1.The Vitesse fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 12 matches. When Vitesse hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like FC Groningen, FC Emmen, Excelsior, SC Cambuur and FC Volendam), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 4 of 5 times.
PSV form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Eredivisie travels is 5 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats.
PSV are travelling after their nice 5-2 home win in the game against SC Cambuur (placed 18th). A mental game with an abundance of goals last time out for PSV, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that entertaining match, will this fixture be as gleeful? Veerman got a match rating of 9.03 in that game, top player of the team. Veerman signed up for three assists, hit six key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times and had 60 successful passes (of 68 total).
Prior to that result PSV won their away game at RKC Waalwijk. The scoreline was 1-0.As for defending, PSV rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 20 goals from these away matches.
Head 2 Head
PSV have been victorious in every one of the 4 most recent matches against this team. Can they do it again?PSV - Vitesse 1-0 was the story when these sides formerly did battle, also in this season.
