It's the second chance for points this season as Vitesse and Sparta Rotterdam battle it out at GelreDome.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

4-5-15 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Sparta Rotterdam when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 24 matches are 24-54 (scored/conceded).

Vitesse form and stats

Vitesse are confident in defense, having played 180 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

It's back home for Vitesse, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating RKC Waalwijk away with the result 1-0. Oussama Darfalou found the net in that victory. Ahead of that match, Vitesse won a home game hosting FC Twente (1-0).

Last season, Vitesse's league statistics were 12 wins, 5 draws and 9 losses, resulting in a 7th position in the Eredivisie. Over these 26 matches they scored 45 goals and conceded 35. Playing at home last season Vitesse managed 7-3-3 (win-draw-lost) with 24 goals and 15 conceded.

Sparta Rotterdam form and stats

Home advantage was not enough for Rotterdam in their previous game, as they lost their Eredivisie-match, hosting Ajax, 0-1. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against FC Utrecht wasn't a success with a 1-5 loss.

Let's have a look at how Sparta Rotterdam performed last season in the Eredivisie Playoffs: They landed a 11th position in the league table after playing out 9 victories, 6 draws and 11 defeats. In total they scored 41 and conceded 45 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 2 - drew 3 and lost 8 with 11/29 goals scored/conceded.

Head 2 Head

Vitesse-Sparta Rotterdam H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Vitesse six wins, Sparta Rotterdam one win, three draws. three of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
