Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
There will be fireworks when Twente and Feyenoord go head to head at De Grolsch Veste in Sunday’s matinee. The Reds have been producing fine performances in the first half of the season, with the team sitting in 9th place in the standings, only one point behind their next rivals. Twente aim to keep their 100% record at home intact, but they will have a big fish to fry against the reigning champions. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of Sunday’s derby.
The title holders, on the other hand, faced no difficulties in a 4-0 win over Vitesse, with the team extending their winning run to seven games. Feyenoord look sharp in front of goal and given Twente’s attacking potential when playing on home soil, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Both Yankuba Minteh and Gernot Trauner are sidelined with injuries, while summer signing Luka Ivanusec should recover in time to face the Reds.

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.
