Your Web 3 Guru and Moonbet presenting todays match: Vitesse – FC Twente
Last week it finally happened: after only managing to secure two points from eight league matches, Vitesse finally won a game in the league last week. On the road against Excelsior, the Arnhemmers were victorious with a 1-2 scoreline against the hosts, bringing a glimmer of hope back to the Trolley City. The gap to the opponent from last weekend, the first team above the relegation line, is now just five points.
With Paxten Aaronson and Nicolas Isimat-Mirin both finding the scoresheet, two players scored their first-ever goals for Vitesse. That’s not entirely surprising, as Vitesse is still the only team in the league to have scored fewer than 20 goals, with a total of eighteen. At home, Edward Sturing’s team has been particularly lacking in this regard. In twelve of the thirteen home matches this season, Vitesse has scored at most one goal per game.
FC Twente
With three 3-0 victories in the last four matches, FC Twente is on track to maintain their place in the top 3 of the league until the last matchday. The Tukkers also have a solid defense, conceding only two goals in their last six matches overall. While the wingers haven’t been prolific, the strikers, especially attacking midfielder Sem Steijn, have been finding the net extremely easily.
Hot Stats
Steijn was on target twice last weekend, bringing his tally to twelve league goals, making him the most prolific player in the Eredivisie who isn’t playing as a center forward. However, Twente’s Achilles’ heel has been their away performances, as they have dropped points in too many away matches over the years. Twente is the second-best performing team at home in the league after PSV, but they have only won two of their last eight official away matches (D4, L2).
Players to watch: Ricky van Wolfswinkel has faced his former club Vitesse five times with Twente, scoring four goals and providing one assist. Anis Hadj Moussa has been involved in two goals in his last four matches (1 goal, 1 assist).
