Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Sparta Rotterdam and Twente take on each other at Sparta Stadion Het Kasteel in the opening match of round 14. The Rotterdammers have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team beating both Fortuna Sittard (3-1) and Vitesse (4-0) in the previous two league fixtures, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to watch in the home team will be Norway international Tobias Lauritsen, who scored a brace in the last league match, while all Omar Rekik, Jonathan de Guzman, and Younes Namil should miss out with injuries.
The Reds, on the other hand, have been impressive at the back this term, with the team conceding no more than eight goals in the process. Twente have been in a fine form of late, but we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing more than one point from Friday’s clash. Robin Propper serves a one-game ban, while all Brama, Tzolis, and Limnios miss out with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Aaron Meijers):
After spending his youth career at AVV Andijk and FC Volendam, Aaron Meijers continued playing for the Palingboeren at senior level. After scoring four goals in 124 league appearances for Volendam, the pacey left back joined fellow Dutch outfit RKC Waalwijk in 2010.
Aaaron Meijers quickly established himself as a first-team regular at RKC, but after playing 62 games in the league for the Yellow and Blues, he moved to ADO Den Haag in 2012. The Dutch footballer made his ADO Den Haag debut on August 12, 2012 in a 2-2 draw with Vitesse, and he has been playing for De Ooievaars ever since.
Aaaron Meijers was born in Delft, Netherlands on October 28, 1987. His main position is left-back, but he is capable of producing fine displays as central midfielder and left winger as well. His preferred foot is left, and he has a contract with ADO Den Haag until June 30, 2022.
Highlighted Team (Twente):
Based in the city of Enschede, Twente is a Dutch football club that welcomes their rivals at De Grolsch Veste. The venue was opened on May 10, 1998, and the capacity of the stadium is 30,205 people. The club was founded in 1965 as a merger of Sportsclub Enschede and Enschedese Boys.
The Reds did remarkably well to win the Eredivisie title in the 2009/10 season, with the team finishing the process only one point clear of Dutch giants Ajax. As a result, Twente booked their place in the Champions League group stages. The Reds did well to collect six points in their group, but that did not help them make it to the last 16.
Twente are well known for their red jerseys, but they wear dark blue shirts when playing on the travels. The Reds take on Heracles Almelo in the Twentse Derby. Sander Boshchker is leading Twente’s all-time goal-scoring chart with 653 goals on his account.
