Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
After rolling over Zwolle 4-0, Feyenoord will be aiming to extend their winning run to five games when they take on Twente at De Grolsch Veste. De Trots van Zuid look unstoppable at the moment, but they can’t afford any complacency in Sunday’s clash as Twente have been showing signs of improvement of late. Head coach Arne Slot should have a full squad to choose from this time out.
The Reds, on the other hand, head into the match following back-to-back wins over Heracles and Sparta Rotterdam. Twente are tough to beat at home, which is probably the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on draw. You should know that two sides shared the spoils in each of their previous two meetings in the Eredivisie. All Lukoki, Pierie, and Everink are rated doubtful, and the trio will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
