Vitesse will host Tottenham Hotspur on matchday three of the UEFA Europa Conference League on Thursday.
The home side come into the game off the back of a narrow 1-0 away victory over Nijmegen on Sunday. Nikolai Frederiksen scored the match-winner in the 64th minute.
Tottenham narrowly edged Newcastle with a 3-2 away victory in the Premier League on the same day. Tanguy Ndombele and Son Heung-Min scored first-half goals for the London side while Harry Kane also scored his first league goal of the season.
Nuno Espirito Santo's side will turn their attention to the continent where they currently top the standings on four points in Group G. Vitesse are in third spot on three points.
Vitesse vs Tottenham Hotspur Head-to-Head
This will be the first official meeting between the two sides. Rennes is due to play bottom-placed Mura in a double-header. Hence, the French side are in prime position to take a big step towards qualifying for the knockout rounds.
This puts pressure on both Tottenham and Vitesse to get positive results in their own double-header across the next two matchdays.
The home side have been relatively consistent recently, with three wins from their last five matches in all competitions. Spurs have also rebounded from their derby-day defeat to Arsenal by winning three matches on the bounce.
