Less than two months after the previous meeting, AZ and Vitesse face each other again. When the Eredivisie resumed, the Alkmaarders got stuck at 1-1. Whether AZ leaves the Gelredome with three points in the bag you will hear on the radio tonight at NH Sport. It also includes a report from Telstar against FC Eindhoven.
With a win in Arnhem – incidentally, that happened for the last time in 2017 – AZ will again surpass Ajax in the rankings and the team of coach Pascal Jansen will be second at least until Sunday afternoon. In addition to all the injured, Jansen cannot rely on Jordy Clasie. The captain is suspended. Vitesse coach Phillip Cocu misses the injured Davy Pröpper.
The match is special for Vitesse because club icon Theo Bos is honored in this number 4 match. Ten years ago, the defender died of pancreatic cancer. Stephan Brandhorst provides the report from Arnhem.
Beating
Telstar will have the first chance to answer this tonight the 7-0 penalty last week against Heracles Almelo.

Telstar coach Mike Snoei about the dramatic evening in Almelo – NH News
Telstar has virtually no chance in the battle for the third period title, but through the regular position there are still opportunities for the Velsen team to qualify for the dessert of the season: the play-offs for promotion to the premier league.
The team of trainer Mike Snoei will then have to climb at least one and possibly two places in the rankings. FC Eindhoven is the perfect opponent in that regard. The current number eight has three points more than number ten Telstar. Moreover, the people of Brabant are on a sad series, because the last five matches were lost without having scored a single goal.
