Vitesse will play AZ in the match of the 14th round of the Dutch Championship. Who will be stronger?
Vitesse
In the previous round, Vitesse could not do anything against PSV, conceding two unanswered goals. This misfire led to the fact that the "yellow-blacks" dropped from fourth place to fifth, remaining with 22 points. Before losing to PSV, Vitesse won two victories in a row, beating Heerenveen and Utrecht 2-1. Despite the fact that Vitesse is in the European Cup zone, it still cannot reach the peak of form, winning a maximum of three matches in a row, and then it certainly loses.
"AZ"
AZ is failing the championship, floundering in the second half of the standings. Although the 13th place currently occupied can be considered quite a good result, since at the start of the season the team from Alkmaar managed to visit the relegation zone, having three losses after four rounds. In recent rounds, the situation has been improved, but regular misfires have not gone away. In the last four matches, AZ has won once, drawn once and lost twice.
Injuries and disqualifications:
- Under question:

Statistics and figures:
- Vitesse won in two of the last three rounds;
- "AZ" won in one of the four previous matches;
- Vitesse lost to AZ on its own field in one of the last five games.
Forecast
Vitesse demonstrates a higher level of football and should cope with AZ without much difficulty.
