Prediction: 3-2
Willem II
After sharing the spoils with Groningen in their last league match, Twente will be aiming to start a new winning run when they welcome Willem II to their De Grolsch Veste. The Reds were producing brilliant displays in September, and it is no wonder the bookies see them as favourites to win Sunday’s football game. All Julio Pleguezuelo, Giovanni Troupee, and Vaclav Cerny are sidelined with injuries, while both Kik Pierie and Jody Lukoki are rated doubtful for the game.
The Tricolores, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-2 loss to Twente, which is probably the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on the hosts. As for the visiting side, both Freek Heerkens and Wesley Spieringhs miss out with injuries, while Robbin Ruiter will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
