Go Ahead Eagles host Vitesse at the De Adelaarshorst on Sunday in the 2023-24 Eredivisie, looking to return to winning ways after consecutive draws.
Since returning from the international break, René Hake's side saw two goalless draws against Sparta Rotterdam and Almere.
With 15 points in the bag from 10 games, the Kowet are in fifth position of the league table, eight points behind fourth-placed Feyenoord.
However, on Thursday, Go Ahead overcame Koninklijke HFC 4-1 in the first round of the KNVB Cup. Yassine Bouchnafa put the hosts ahead in the 86th minute but Gerrit Nauber equalized for the Eagles just four minutes later to send the game into extra time.
Oliver Valaker Edvardsen, Sylla Sow and Thibo Baeten all struck apiece in the additional 30 minutes to send them into the next round and add some wind to their sails.
Vitesse, meanwhile, are down in 15th place on the top-flight table, hovering just a point above the relegation zone. The side have won just twice in 10 games, the second of which was a 3-1 defeat of NEC last month.
Since then, the Vites drew twice more and lost once. On Thursday, the Arnhem outfit cut themselves some slack with a slender 1-0 defeat of Groene Ster in the first round of the KNVB Cup.
