Prediction: 2-1
Twente
Following a heart-breaking 2-2 draw with Groningen, Ajax will look to finish the season in style when they welcome Twente to their Johan Cruijff Arena on Sunday. The Amsterdammers are one point behind league leaders PSV in the Eredivisie standings, meaning that this has to go down as a must-win game for Francesco Farioli’s troops. Wout Weghorst is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in the midweek clash, while defender Anton Gaaei serves a one-game ban.
The Reds, on the other hand, aim to overtake AZ Alkmaar in 5th position in the standings, but with Joseph Oosting’s men already securing a spot in the Conference League playoffs, we are tempted to bet on the title-chasing hosts. There are no fresh injury concerns in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Amsterdam. Fit-again defender Gerald Alders is expected to start from the bench once again.
Highlighted Player (Steven Berghuis):
Born in Apeldoorn, Netherlands on December 19, 1991, Steven Berghuis is a Dutch winger who plays for Ajax in the Eredivisie. Berghuis played for the likes of Vitesse/AGOVV, WSV Apeldoorn, and Go Ahead Eagles during his youth career before joining Twente in 2009.
The 183-cm-tall footballer continued playing for the Reds at senior level. After ending his loan spell with VVV-Venlo, Steven Berghuis joined AZ Alkmaar in the summer of 2012, and three years later signed a deal with the Premier League club Watford. After making no more than nine appearances in the English top flight, Berghuis moved to Feyenoord in August 2016, and he has been playing De club aan de Maas ever since.
His main position is right winger, but he is capable of producing fine displays as both left winger and attacking midfielder as well. He made his Netherlands debut on May 27, 2016 in a 1-1 draw with the Republic of Ireland.
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.
