Prediction: 2-1
Fortuna Sittard
Following a hard-fought 1-0 win over NEC Nijmegen, Twente will look to impress in their first home game of the season when they take on Fortuna Sittard on Sunday. The Reds kicked off their Conference League campaign in style as well, with the team beating Cukaricki 3-1 in Belgrade, and it is no wonder they are seen as favouites to defeat Fortuna on home soil. Sem Steijn, who scored a late winner at NEC, is pushing for a start, while both Wout Brama and Dimitrios Limnios remain in the recovery room.
The visitors, on the other hand, suffered a 3-2 loss to reigning champions Ajax in their opener, but their display was anything but poor. Fortuna Sittard obviously want to play an important role in the Eredivisie this season, but they should not be looking for points at De Grolsch Veste as Twente are a real force to be reckoned with at home. Experienced Turkey attacker Burak Yilmaz is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring a beautiful goal from the free-kick against Ajax.
