Vitesse vs AZ Alkmaar – After losing to Ajax by a score of 1-2 in the Eredivisie last time out, Vitesse will be hoping for a better outcome this time.
Only Vitesse’s Marco van Ginkel managed to strike (30′). Ajax scored goals through Davy Klaassen (32′) and Edson Llvarez (54′).
The last few years have seen far too few clear sheets for Vitesse. The data indicates that Vitesse have conceded 9 goals while failing to stop their opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 encounters.
Vitesse had lost their previous three league games to AZ, so they came into this encounter with a losing record. AZ enters this match off of a 2-1 Eredivisie victory over SC Cambuur in their previous game.
Vangelis Pavlidis (40′) and Wouter Goes (73′) scored the goals for AZ. SC Cambuur’s Bjrn Johnsen struck in the 85th second. With 15 goals scored in their last 6 games, AZ has been a threat moving forward leading up to this match.
However, AZ has also struggled defensively, giving up goals in 5 of those same games. Putting aside previous outcomes, it is still unclear whether that pattern will continue in this upcoming game.
AZ has not defeated Vitesse in a game played away from home for the previous four league games, according to their prior performance. Not excellent at all and have lost both of their last three league games on the road.
