Vitesse achieved a second consecutive victory with the score of 3-5 in the away match against Heracles Almelo, in a match where both teams showed very attacking tendencies throughout the game, but Vitesse fairly won and missed a penalty too, while Heracles finished the game with ten men.
Poor defending for one more game for Vitesse, but great attacking move, with Ivorian striker Wilfried Bony scoring three goals, who wanted to be transferred in Russian team, but he will remain to Vitesse until the end of the season. With him on top of the attack, Vitesse has a good chance for a place in the top four and direct participation in the Europa League.
Valuable midfielder Theo Janssen (19 games, 1 goal) is suspended, attacking midfielder Davy Propper (10 games) is out injured, while left winger Gael Kakuta (13 games, 1 goal) is questionable.
Utrecht after two consecutive defeats returned to success with a home victory of 4:0 over Roda. Everything finished early in 18th minute where they won a penalty and Roda defender was sent off, then they had no problem to score another three goals and take a comfortable victory.
They made excellent progress so far in the league, and this season they show that will hardly lose participation in the playoffs. There are still dreams of a place in the top four, but it seems difficult, especially after consecutive injury problems lately.
Key midfielder Anouar Kali (19 games, 1 goal) is back to the squad after suspension, main left back Dave Bulthuis (21 games, 3 goals) is back after injury, while sub defender Marcus Nilsson (3 games), left back Michael Zullo (10 games), main attacking midfielder Nana Asare (21 games, 2 goals), right midfielder Adam Sarota (18 games) and right winger Yoshiaki Takagi (7 games) are all out injured.
Vitesse has the lead to win this game after Utrecht injury problems, but Utrecht demonstrated many times that they are a very good team and learnt to play with lot of absences, scoring 21 goals away from home in twelve games. I think that Utrecht will score and we will watch a high scoring game.
