Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Twente and Utrecht go head to head at De Grolsh Veste in what is expected to be one of the most interesting games of Sunday’s program. The Reds aim to build on a 2-0 win over Sparta Rotterdam, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Utrecht. Bearing any fresh injury worries, manager Joseph Oosting is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Rotterdammers at the weekend.
Utrecht, on the other hand, do not want to give up on their Champions League dream. Ron Jans’ men are on a three-game winning run in the Dutch top flight, but beating Twente on the road is easier said than done. Therefore, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Both Can Bozdgan and Zidane Igbal remain on the sidelines with injuries for the visiting side, while Spanish forward Miguel Rodriguez misses out through suspension.
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.
