Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-2
Twente
Willem II and Twente take on each other at Konig Willem II Stadion in what should be an interesting Eredivisie encounter. Willem II suffered an unexpected 2-0 loss to rock-bottom Zwolle, with the team remaining in the danger zone. The Tricolores are eager to get back on course as soon as possible, but they face a difficult task in Saturday’s football match. The Reds, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Heerenveen.
Twente have been in a splendid form of late, and given Willem II’s poor display in the loss to Willem II, we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on the visiting side. To make things even better for the visitors, important midfielder Michal Sadilek returns to the starting XI after serving his one-game ban in the triumph over Heerenveen.
Highlighted Player (Robbin Ruiter):
Robbin Ruiter is a Dutch professional goalkeeper who plays for Eredivisie club Willem II. Born in Amsterdam, Netherlands on March 25, 1987, the 196-cm-tall shot-stopper is a product of RKAV Volendam youth team.
Speaking of his senior career, Ruiter began playing for FC Volendam. After making 70 league appearances for the Het Andere Oranje, the goalkeeper joined Utrecht in 2012 where he quickly established himself as a first-team regular. After short spells with Sunderland and PSV, Robbin Ruiter signed a two-year contract with Willem II in the summer of 2020. It has to be noted that he did well to make it to the EFL Trophy final with Sunderland in the 2018/19 season.
The Black Cats suffered a loss to Portsmouth in the decider, with the Pompey winning the trophy after penalty shoot-out. Robin Ruitter has yet to make his debut with the Netherlands national football team.
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.
