Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
De Adelaarshorst will host Sunday’s football game between Go Ahead Eagles and Twente, the two top-table sides. Go Ahead Eagles are on a three-game winning run in Eredivisie and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach against Twente. With no fresh injury worries to report, head coach Paul Simonis is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Groningen 2-1 at the weekend.
Meanwhile, the Reds aim to make amends for a 2-1 loss to NAC Breda. Twente are eager to keep their Champions League hopes alive and given Go Ahead Eagles’ attacking potential at home, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. When the two teams met in Enschede earlier this term, Twente defeated Go Ahead Eagles 3-2, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction. Younes Taha remains in the recovery room, while both Sam Lammers and Mees Hilgers are major doubts.
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.
