Vitesse will host Utrecht at the Gelredome on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Eredivisie campaign.
The home side have failed to impress in the league this season and currently find themselves in the drop zone as they round up the first-half of the campaign. They were thrashed 5-0 by newly-promoted Almere City in their last league match but bounced back in their final game of 2023 with a 1-0 win over Heerenveen in the KNVB Beker.
Vitesse sit rock-bottom in the league standings with just 11 points from 16 games and will be looking to add to that tally come Sunday.
Utrecht endured a poor start to their season but have begun picking up important points in recent weeks as they look to avoid an impending relegation tussle. They played out a 1-1 draw against Waalwijk last time out in the Eredivisie before suffering a 2-0 defeat to Feyenoord in the domestic cup days later.
The visitors sit 13th in the Eredivisie standings with 17 points from 16 matches. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and return to winning ways this weekend.
