Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Twente will be aiming to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Feyenoord and Heracles when they take on Fortuna Sittard in the Eredivisie round 28. The Reds are eyeing their tenth home win of the process and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Defender Alec Van Hoorenbeeck limped off with injury in the last league match, with Mathias Kjolo likely to step up.
Fortuna Sittard, on the other hand, have suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to both Groningen and Sparta Rotterdam in the last two league matches. Given their difficulties up front, we do not believe that Twente will have a better chance than this to return to winning ways in the Dutch top flight. In their last encounter in Enschede, Twente recorded a 2-0 win over Fortuna Sittard, who welcome midfielder Alessio Da Cruz back from suspension.
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.
