Vitesse faces De Graafschap tonight without their head coach, Rüdiger Rehm! He's serving a one-match suspension after picking up his fourth yellow card of the season against Jong Ajax. This couldn't come at a worse time for the Arnhem side, who are currently bottom of the Keuken Kampioen Divisie after a 2-0 defeat to Ajax's youth team on Monday.
The suspension adds insult to injury for Vitesse, who are desperate for a win to climb up the league table. Assistant coaches Nicky Kuiper and Timm Fahrion will take charge for the crucial match against De Graafschap, who are currently fifth in the league.
Can Vitesse overcome the odds?
A victory against De Graafschap would lift Vitesse, at least temporarily, from the bottom of the table and give them a game in hand over their rivals. The expectation is that Vitesse will field the same starting eleven as against Jong Ajax.
A tough week ahead
It's a busy week for Vitesse, as they face TOP Oss on Sunday. Can they turn their fortunes around and secure some much-needed points? All eyes will be on the GelreDome tonight to see if Vitesse can overcome the absence of their head coach and secure a vital win against De Graafschap.
