Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Twente will be aiming to seal their spot in the Champions League when they face Zwolle on the last day of the season. The Reds rolled over Volendam 7-2 at the weekend and we are positive that they will adopt yet another attack-minded approach against Zwolle. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be talented midfielder Sem Steijn, who scored a hat-trick against Het Andere Oranje, while there are no fresh injury worries in Joseph Oosting’s team.
The Blauwvingers, on the other hand, are stuck in the middle of the table with little to play for in Sunday’s clash. Given the importance for the match for Twente, anything but a routine away win would be a big surprise. To make things even more complicated for the home side, midfielder Zico Buurmeester misses out through suspension following his sending-off in a 1-1 draw with RKC Waalwijk.
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.
