  • Two teams on different trajectories will clash at De Grolsch Veste on Sunday as Twente seeks to extend their unbeaten streak in the Eredivisie to four matches, while NEC looks to break a three-match winless run.
  • Twente currently sits in sixth place with 39 points, just one point behind fourth-placed Feyenoord, which holds a spot in the Europa League qualifiers.

  • In their previous encounter this season, Twente emerged victorious with a 2-1 win over NEC at Goffertstadion in August. Sam Lammers opened the scoring for Twente in the eighth minute, followed by a goal from Alec Van Hoorenbeeck. NEC's Kodai Sano responded with a goal in the 28th minute.
