Vitesse

WLLWLW

Vitesse go into this fixture following a 2-2 Eredivisie tied result against Ajax.

The only scorer from Vitesse was Loïs Openda (52', 56'). Brian Brobbey (15') and Edson Álvarez (87') scored for Ajax.

It’s been seldom in recent times where Vitesse have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Vitesse have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 6 goals in the process.

Looking at their past form shows that Vitesse:

• haven't beaten Ajax in their previous 6 league matches.
• are without a home win in the past 2 league matches.

Ajax

WLWWDW

Over the course of their last six outings, Ajax have helped themselves to a total of 14 goals. Ajax have also not failed to score on each one of those occasions. During that period, their defenders have seen 5 goals go against them. Such a pattern won’t necessarily be carried forward into this match, however.

Pre-game facts show that Ajax:

• remain undefeated by Vitesse when having played them away from home in the previous 3 league matches.
• are undefeated in their previous 4 league matches away from home.
