Vitesse visit the Offermans Joosten Stadion on Saturday to face Fortuna Sittard in the Eredivisie, looking to pick up only their third win of the top-flight campaign.
It's been a miserable run for Vitesse, who languish at the bottom of the league standings with just eight points from 13 games and a meager two wins all season.
The Vites have also lost the joint highest number of games with nine, including defeats in each of their last four. Their latest result was a crushing 5-0 loss to big guns Ajax last weekend.
Head coach Phillip Cocu was given the sack earlier this month for being unable to turn the tide around, with Edward Sturing taking over as the caretaker manager.
Fortuna Sittard are only six places above Vitesse, having gained five points more and won just one game more. Their last victory was a 4-1 drubbing of Heracles on 11 November, which signalled the side's possible return to form.
However, the Fortunezen succumbed to a 3-0 defeat to Heerenveen in their next outing, ending hopes of stitching together a winning run.
