Previous meetings • In the teams' first meeting it was Zulte Waregem who went ahead thanks to an own goal from Guram Kashia, before Vitesse pegged them back through Thomas Bruns four minutes later. • Zulte Waregem had lost all three of their previous games against Dutch sides without scoring a goal – including a pair of 3-0 home defeats, by Ajax in the 2006/07 UEFA Cup group stage and by PSV in the third qualifying round of the 2013/14 UEFA Champions League (PSV also winning 2-0 in the Netherlands). • Vitesse had won their only two previous UEFA matches against Belgian opposition without conceding: 1-0 home and away against Mechelen in the 1992/93 UEFA Cup second round. Form guide • Both clubs have one point from three Group K games and are eight and five points, respectively, behind Lazio and Nice with three matches remaining. • Vitesse have lost their last four European fixtures in Arnhem, most recently going down 3-2 to Lazio on matchday one. • Zulte Waregem have a positive recent record on the road in Europe, having won four of their last seven away fixtures (D1 L2). • Vitesse are featuring in the group stage of a UEFA competition for the first time – the reward for having won the 2016/17 Dutch Cup, their maiden major trophy. • Zulte Waregem claimed their second Belgian Cup in 2016/17; they made it through the UEFA Cup group stage in 2006/07, but could not emulate that success in the 2013/14 UEFA Europa League. Trivia and links • The journey from Waregem to Arnhem is around 200km, making this the shortest journey required of any competitor on matchday four. • Zulte Waregem midfielder Onur Kaya came through the youth ranks at Vitesse and was a first-team player from 2005–10. • Vitesse defenders Alexander Büttner (2016) and Arnold Kruiswijk (2008–10) played in Belgium with Anderlecht. • Kruiswijk celebrates his 33rd birthday on the day of the game. • Zulte Waregem's Timothy Derijck also has extensive Dutch experience (Feyenoord 2005–09, NAC Breda 2006, Den Haag 2009–11 and 2014–16, PSV Eindhoven 2011–14, Utrecht 2013–14). • Zulte Waregem forward Aaron Leya Iseka misses this fixture through suspension after being booked in all of the first three group games. • Suspended for next match if booked: Thulani Serero (Vitesse). The coaches • Vitesse coach since 2016, leading them to their historic Dutch Cup triumph last season, Surinam-born Henk Fraser was capped seven times by the Netherlands as a defender, spending the bulk of his playing career at Feyenoord, where he was later a youth coach. He took his first senior job at Den Haag from 2014–16. • Francky Dury's second coming as Zulte Waregem coach began in 2012, and he led them to a second Belgian Cup success last season. Zultse and – post-merger – Zulte Waregem boss from 1994–2010, he had spells with Gent and Belgium's Under-21 side prior to his return. 3 Vitesse - SV Zulte Waregem Thursday 2 November 2017 - 21.05CET (21.05 local time) Match press kit GelreDome, Arnhem Team facts Vitesse Formed: 1892 Nickname: Vitas UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets) • None Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) Dutch Cup: 1 (2017) Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2016/17: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2015/16: third qualifying round 2014/15: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2013/14: third qualifying round 2012/13: third qualifying round 2011/12: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2010/11: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2009/10: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2008/09: did not take part in UEFA club competition 2007/08: did not take part in UEFA club competition Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 3-0 three times, most recently v Maccabi Haifa 14/09/00, UEFA Cup first round first leg • Biggest away win 0-4: Dundee United v Vitesse 07/11/90, UEFA Cup second round second leg • Heaviest home defeat 0-2 three times, most recently v Southampton 06/08/15, third qualifying round second leg • Heaviest away defeat 4-1: Lens v Vitesse 28/10/99, UEFA Cup second round first leg 3-0 three times, most recently v Nice 28/09/17, UEFA Europa League third qualifying round first leg UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 3-0 three times, most recently v Maccabi Haifa (see above) • Biggest away win 0-4: Dundee United v Vitesse (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 0-2 three times, most recently v Southampton (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 4-1: Lens v Vitesse (see above) 3-0 three times, most recently v Nice (see above) SV Zulte Waregem Formed: 2001 Nickname: Essevee UEFA club competition honours • None Domestic honours (most recent triumph in brackets) Belgian Cup: 2 (2017) 4 Vitesse - SV Zulte Waregem Thursday 2 November 2017 - 21.05CET (21.05 local time) Match press kit GelreDome, Arnhem Ten-year European record (UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup unless indicated otherwise) 2016/17: did not take part in UEFA competition 2015/16: did not take part in UEFA competition 2014/15: third qualifying round 2013/14: group stage (having transferred from UEFA Champions League third qualifying round) 2012/13: did not take part in UEFA competition 2011/12: did not take part in UEFA competition 2010/11: did not take part in UEFA competition 2009/10: did not take part in UEFA competition 2008/09: did not take part in UEFA competition 2007/08: did not take part in UEFA competition Records UEFA club competition • Biggest home win 3-1: Zulte Waregem v Sparta Praha 02/11/06, UEFA Cup group stage 2-0: Zulte Waregem v Lokomotiv Moskva 28/09/06, UEFA Cup first round second leg • Biggest away win 1-4: Austria Wien v Zulte Waregem 19/10/06, UEFA Cup group stage • Heaviest home defeat 1-5: Zulte Waregem v Nice 14/09/17, UEFA Europa League group stage • Heaviest away defeat 6-2: Espanyol v Zulte Waregem 23/11/06, UEFA Cup group stage 4-0: Rubin Kazan v Zulte Waregem 03/10/13, UEFA Europa League group stage UEFA Europa League/UEFA Cup • Biggest home win 3-1: Zulte Waregem v Sparta Praha (see above) 2-0: Zulte Waregem v Lokomotiv Moskva (see above) • Biggest away win 1-4: Austria Wien v Zulte Waregem (see above) • Heaviest home defeat 1-5: Zulte Waregem v Nice (see above) • Heaviest away defeat 6-2: Espanyol v Zulte Waregem (see above) 4-0: Rubin Kazan v Zulte Waregem (see above) 5 Vitesse - SV Zulte Waregem Thursday 2 November 2017 - 21.05CET (21.05 local time) Match press kit GelreDome, Arnhem Squad list Vitesse Current season All-time UEL League UEL UEFA No. Player Nat.
