Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Twente will look to build on their recent 2-1 victory over Fortuna Sittard when they host Go Ahead Eagles in what is expected to be an exciting Eredivisie clash. The Reds are in fine form, establishing themselves as one of the main candidates for a Champions League spot. With no fresh injury concerns, head coach Joseph Oosting has the luxury of deploying a strong starting XI to build on their momentum.
Go Ahead Eagles head into the match fresh from a dominant 3-0 triumph over Almere City, where they impressed with their attacking efficiency. However, their form away from De Adelaarshorst has been inconsistent, and this poses a significant challenge against Twente, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. Manager Paul Simonis also enjoys the benefit of a fully fit squad, but his team will need to find defensive solidity to have a chance of upsetting the hosts. Given Twente’s fine home record and Go Ahead Eagles' ups and downs on the road, home win should be considered.
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.
