Match preview
Vitesse were on the receiving end of a 5-1 thrashing against Go Ahead Eagles when the teams faced off at De Adelaarshorst Stadium on Saturday.
Two goals from Willum Thor Willumsson either side of strikes from Oliver Edvardsen and Victor Edvardsen left Phillip Cocu’s men with a mountain to climb after which Joris Kramer put the final nail in the coffin.
As a result, Geel en Zwart have dropped to bottom place in the Eredivisie table, albeit only one point adrift of safety as things stand.
On the menu next is the challenge of an opposing outfit with little to choose between the teams as the last 13 meetings have yielded four wins apiece and five stalemates.
Winless in six straight home matches leading up to this weekend’s clash, Saturday’s hosts will need to turn things around in front of their fans to steer clear of relegation danger.
Heerenveen were denied a third straight victory across all competitions as they fell to a 4-1 defeat against Ajax in Sunday’s encounter at the Johan Cruyff ArenA.
Kees van Wonderen’s men went into the interval trailing to strikes from Steven Bergwijn and Brian Brobbey before a late Chuba Akpom brace sealed the deal.
With 10 points amassed from 11 matches so far, De Superfriezen sit 13th in the standings, two points clear of the drop zone and as many behind the top half.
Having lost each of their last five away matches, Saturday’s visitors have work to do at both ends of the pitch if they are to avoid another fruitless outing on the road.
