Excelsior
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-2
Twente
Excelsior will be looking to put an end to their three-game losing run when they face Twente on Saturday evening. Excelsior have been struggling defensively in the early stages of the season and it is no wonder the bookies see them as underdogs in this match. Both Lennard Hartjes and Stijn van Gassel are expected to miss out with injuries for the home side.
The Reds, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 2-0 loss to Twente, with the team beating Heerenveen 2-1 at the weekend. Given Excelsior’s shaky defence and Twente’s new confidence boost, we predict that the visitors are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s encounter. In their last meeting in Rotterdam, Twente recorded a routine 3-0 win over Excelsior. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to The Port City.
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.
