Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Following a 3-0 loss to PSV, Twente will look to give fans something to cheer about when they take on Go Ahead Eagles on Sunday afternoon. The Reds were beaten by the league leaders at the weekend, but it has to be noted that Mees Hilgers was sent off after just 24 minutes. Fellow defender Alec Van Hoorenbeeck is likely to step up, while both Michel Vlap and Mitchell Van Bergen are rated doubtful for the match.
Go Ahead Eagles, on the other hand, extended their unbeaten run to seven games in all competitions thanks to a 1-1 draw with NEC Nijmegen. Anyhow, Twente are more of a team than Go Ahead Eagles and seeing that the visitors are hungry for revenge, away triumph should be considered. As for the home side, Sylla Sow is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in the last league 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.
