De Graafschap is looking for direction having 3 win and 4 losses in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Ajax recorded a 2-1 win against Vitesse. Marco van Ginkel struck first for Vitesse in the 30th minute, then Davy Klaassen tied it up for Ajax in the 32nd minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 54th minute on a goal by Edson Álvarez.
