Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
PSV will be aiming to make amends for the heavy 5-0 loss to Ajax when they host Twente to their Phillips Stadion on Matchday 11. PSV are eager to stay in the title race, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Twente. Noni Madueke should recover in time to face the Reds, while all Cody Gakpo, Ritsu Doan, and Shurandy Sambo are out of contention with injuries. Israel international Zahavi is widely expected to led the line for the hosts.
Twente, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a shocking 2-1 loss to NEC, but seeing that PSV are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict that the visitors will return to Enschede empty-handed. Virgil Misidjan is pushing for a start after finding the net in the last league match, while all Manfred Ugalde, Wout Brama, Luca Everink, Vaclav Cerny, and Jody Lukoki should miss out with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Mario Gotze):
Mario Gotze is a German midfielder, who played for Ronsberg and Eintrach Hombruch during his youth career before joining Borussia Dortmund in 2001. He made a great progress during his spell at the Borussia Dortmund’s youth academy and on 21 November, 2009 he made his Bundesliga debut for the Millionaires.
Gotze scored 22 goals in 83 league appearances for the club between 2009 and 2013 and he joined Borussia Dortmund’s bitterest rivals Bayern Munich on April, 2013. The German midfielder, who is capable of playing as a striker as well, failed to impress in the 2015/2016 Bundesliga campaign, but it has to be noted that he was struggling with injury at the start of the season.
Gotze won three Bundesliga trophies with Bayern Munich, but at the end of the 2015/2016 season he returned to Borussia Dortmund. In 2014 he represented Germany at the FIFA World Cup in Brazil and he scored the winner in the final against Argentina. Mario Gotze was born in Memmingen on 3 June, 1992.
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.
