A series of reliable performances by the FC Twente defensive unit has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded amounting to 4 from their previous 6 clashes overall. During the same time, their own forwards have managed to score 10. Such a trend won’t necessarily follow through into this next game, however.

📰 Team News: SC Heerenveen

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just a single fitness concern for the SC Heerenveen gaffer Kees van Wonderen to be concerned about thanks to an almost full-strength group. Luuk Brouwers (Knock) is out of contention. Nathan Tjoe-A-On will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

We are thinking that De Superfriezen will probably go for a 4-2-3-1 system for this one and select Mickey van der Hart, Oliver Braude, Sven van Beek, Pawel Bochniewicz, Mats Koehlert, Thom Haye, Simon Olsson, Espen van Ee, Loizos Loizou, Osame Sahraoui and Ion Nicolaescu.

📋 Team News: FC Twente

Owing to a completely injury-free group to pick from, the FC Twente boss Joseph Oosting has zero fitness concerns at all ahead of this clash.

We are inclined to think that De Tukkers appear most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup using Lars Unnerstall, Alfons Sampsted, Mees Hilgers, Robin Propper, Gijs Smal, Mathias Kjoeloe, Michal Sadilek, Daan Rots, Sem Steijn, Michel Vlap and R. van Wolfswinkel.

🔮 Prediction

When taking all factors into account, SC Heerenveen have it in them to score a goal against this FC Twente team, although one goal probably won’t quite be good enough.

We’re going for a very close game with a 1-2 victory for FC Twente when the full-time whistle blows. Could easily go either way, this.
