Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Twente will be aiming to make amends for a 1-0 loss to PSV when they take on Heracles on day 27 of the current Eredivisie campaign. The Reds were on the verge of sharing the spoils with the league leaders, but substitute Pepi eventually helped Peter Bosz’s troops pick up all three points from the match. Anyhow, Twente’s display at Philips Stadion is fuelling fans with optimism ahead of Sunday’s clash. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Black and Whites, meanwhile, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Go Ahead Eagles, but given their four-game losing run on the road, we do not believe that the underdogs are going to spoil Twente’s party at De Grolsch Veste. As for the away team, both Jannes Wieckhoff and Sava Cestic are sidelined with injuries, while both Diego van Oorschot and Nikolai Laursen are major doubt.
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.
