📰 Team News: FC Twente

FC Twente manager Ron Jans does not have any fitness concerns to speak of ahead of this game owing to a completely healthy group to choose from.

We think that De Tukkers could make use of the 4-3-3 system for this game featuring Joel Drommel, Jayden Oosterwolde, Xandro Schenk, Julio Pleguezuelo, Tyronne Ebuehi, Godfried Roemeratoe, Jesse Bosch, Ramiz Zerrouki, Queensy Menig, Danilo Pereira da Silva and Vaclav Cerny.

📋 Team News: FC Groningen

Groningen boss Danny Buijs has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Gabriel Gudmundsson (Ankle Injury) and Arjen Robben (Groin Injury) are those who can’t be considered.

From our viewpoint, Trots van het Noorden seem likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 system with a starting lineup of Sergio Padt, Damil Dankerlui, Wessel Dammers, Ko Itakura, Bart van Hintum, Daniël van Kaam, Azor Matusiwa, Ajdin Hrustic, Ramon Pascal Lundqvist, Mo El Hankouri and Jørgen Strand Larsen.

⚡ Prediction

We feel that FC Groningen and FC Twente could find scoring goals difficult here.

Let’s see what happens, but it could well be that we end up with scores level and two clean sheets. We’re therefore expecting a close game with a 0-0 score at full-time.
