Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
After surviving RKC Waalwijk in the Dutch Cup, Utrecht will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Twente at Stadion Galgenwaard in Sunday’s matinee. Utrecht recorded a thrilling 4-3 win over Ajax in their last home game in the Eredivisie, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Twente. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of Sunday’s clash.
The Reds, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Feyenoord and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. As Utrecht have been scoring goals for fun on home soil of late, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. As for the away team, both Max Bruns and Joshua Brenet are rated doubtful for the match.
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.
