Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Twente will be looking to return to winning ways when they face Heracles on Sunday, after failing to secure victory in their last two league matches. Despite recent struggles, this home clash presents a nice opportunity for the Reds to return to form. However, they will have to cope without Daan Rots, Younes Taha, and Michal Sadilek, all sidelined through injuries.
Heracles, meanwhile, come into this match struggling defensively, as seen in their 4-3 loss to Ajax. Their defence has been shaky of late, and with midfielder De Keersmaecker suspended, their chances of improving defensively look slim. The Black and Whites have been struggling on the travels, and with important players missing, they face a tough challenge in Sunday's clash. Considering Twente’s solid home form and Heracles' defensive frailties, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match.
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.
