Sparta Rotterdam and Vitesse will continue preparations for a return to Eredivisie action when they face off in a friendly fixture on Thursday.
The visitors head into the midweek clash winless in any of their last four matches across all competitions and will be looking to end this dry spell.
Sparta Rotterdam returned to winning ways last Saturday when they edged out Spezia 3-1 away from home.
This followed a 2-1 defeat at the hands of FC Twente on December 10 which saw their run of three consecutive games without defeat come to an end.

Meanwhile, Vitesse failed to find their feet last time out as they fell to a 2-1 loss against MSV Duisburg.
They have now failed to win any of their last four matches across all competitions, losing twice and claiming two draws since October.
Vitesse are currently 13th in the Eredivisie table after picking up 13 points from 14 matches.
