Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
NAC Breda will be aiming to put an end to their three-game losing run when they take on Twente in the Eredivisie round 19. The Yellow-Blacks have been struggling defensively of late and they will have yet another big fish to fry against Twente. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, new signing Sydney van Hooijdonk should be recalled to the starting XI.
The Reds, on the other hand, produced a brilliant display in a 6-2 win over Willem II and given Breda’s difficulties at the back, away win should be considered. In the first half of the season Twente defeated NAC Breda 1-0, with veteran forward Ricky van Wolfswinkel scoring the only goal of the match. This time out, a man to watch in the away team will be attacking midfielder Sem Steijn, who scored a hat-trick against the Tricolores.
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.
