Our prediction for this KNVB Cup match:
A place in the KNVB Beker quarter-finals will be at stake when Go Ahead Eagles and Twente face each other at De Adelaarshorst on Wednesday evening. Go Ahead Eagles aim to build on a 3-0 win over Fortuna Sittard and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to watch in the home team will be Denmark forward Jakob Breum, who scored a brace in the last league match, while the likes of Stokkers, Adelgaard, and Adekanye continue to miss out with injuries.
The Reds, on the other hand, rolled over Willem II 6-2 at the weekend. Twente are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach and given Go Ahead Eagles’ attacking potential at home, over 2.5 goals betting option should be considered. In their last meeting in the Eredivisie, Twente recorded a 3-2 win over Go Ahead Eagles. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team.
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.
