Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Following a goalless draw with Feyenoord, Twente will be aiming to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they welcome RKC Waalwijk to their De Grolsch Veste on Matchday 20. The Reds failed to win the previous three games in all competitions, but they are seen as hot favourites to beat Henk Fraser’s troops in front of home fans. Max Bruns remains on the sidelines through suspension, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
RKC, on the other hand, have been struggling at the back of late, with the team conceding seven goals in total in the last three league matches. In their last encounter in Enschede Twente defeated RKC 3-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. To make things even worse for the away team, all Godfried Roemeratoe, Michiel Kramer, and Aaron Meijers are banned for 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.
