Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
After sharing the spoils with Heerenveen at the weekend, Twente will look to start a new winning run in Eredivisie when they welcome RKC Waalwijk to their De Grolsch Veste on Sunday. The Reds have yet to suffered a loss at home ground this season and, as a result, the bookies see them as favourites to win this match. It has to be noted, though, that defender Bas Kuipers will have to serve his ban against RKC.
The visitors, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the Dutch top flight, but Twente will pose a much bigger threat for the relegation strugglers than their previous rivals. In their last meeting in Enschede, Twente defeated RKC 3-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. The likes of Roshon van Eijm, Douda Weidmann, Yanick van Osch, and Nouri Cheung miss out with injuries for the away 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.
