Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Twente will look to build on back-to-back wins over Go Ahead Eagles and Vitesse when they take on Sparta Rotterdam in the Eredivisie round 25. The Reds are eyeing their tenth home win of the process and they are seen as hot favourites to win Saturday’s encounter as well. Mees Hilgers limped off with injury in the last league match, with Max Bruns likely to step up, while both Carel Eiting and Lars Unnerstall remain in the treatment room.
The Rotterdammers, on the other hand, were beaten by both Feyenoord and NEC Nijmegen in the previous two away games, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the hosts. In their last encounter at De Grolsch Veste Twente defeated Sparta Rotterdam 1-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Camiel Neghli is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
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.
