Vitesse, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 3-1 home defeat by PSV will have left the Vitesse squad feeling a little deflated.
Manager Phillip Cocu will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 12 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Marco van Ginkel has scored in each of Vitesse's last 3 league games.
AZ, Recent FormLast time out, AZ left content aftera 3-1 away win against RKC Waalwijk
Pascal Jansen will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 17 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have conceded 5 goals during those same matches. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 games on the road.
They have had a strong run of away form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 4 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Jesper Karlsson will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in AZ's last 6 league games.
It was one to forget for Vitesse last time they met AZ in the league, falling to a 0-1 defeat.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at GelreDome, Vitesse have been unable to break through the visitor's defence and find the back of the net. In their previous 3 encounters with Kaaskoppen, Vitesse have shipped at least one goal in those matches.
Vitesse remains without a victory against AZ in their previous 4 league encounters.
AZ player Jesper Karlsson will be feeling confident about recording goals against Vitesse ahead of this encounter, with a scoring record of 4 goals from their last 5 meetings.
Vitesse manager Phillip Cocu has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Thomas Buitink (Cruciate ligament), Davy Pröpper (Knee) and Marco van Ginkel (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Pascal Jansen has a number of injury concerns in his AZ squad to contend with: Jesper Karlsson (Hamstring), Bruno Martins Indi (Hip) and Sem Westerveld (Knee)
