Team News

Twente
RKC Waalwijk
  • Bas Kuipers will miss this game for Twente due to suspension after being sent off in the recent draw against Heerenveen.
  • Alec Van Hoorenbeeck is expected to take his place in the starting lineup. Kuipers will be joined on the sidelines by the injured Younes Taha.
  • RKC Waalwijk will be without at least five players this weekend due to injuries. Denilho Cleonise, Yanick van Osch, Dario van den Buijs, Roshon van Eijma, and Daouda Weidmann are all ruled out.
  • Despite these absences, head coach Henk Fraser is expected to keep the same lineup as in the last match.
  • However, Chris Lokesa, who scored after coming off the bench in the 5-0 victory over NAC Breda, is pushing for a starting position.

Prediction

  • RKC Waalwijk will travel to De Grolsch Veste on Sunday to face Twente, with both teams heading in different directions. Waalwijk is currently unbeaten in four consecutive matches, while Twente is looking to break a three-match winless streak in the Eredivisie.
  • Twente sits in sixth place with 36 points, just four points behind AZ, who are in fourth and hold a spot in the Europa League qualifiers. In their last Eredivisie match at Abe Lenstra Stadion, Twente played to a 3-3 draw against Heerenveen, extending their winless run to three matches.
  • On the other hand, RKC Waalwijk recently secured a commanding 5-0 victory over NAC Breda at home, which helped them extend their unbeaten streak to four matches. However, they remain in 17th place with 17 points, sitting seven points away from safety with 12 matches left to play.
  • The last encounter between these two teams in the Eredivisie, which took place in October at Mandemakers Stadion, ended in a 2-2 draw. Richonell Margaret and Silvester van der Water scored for Waalwijk, while Sem Steijn and Carel Eiting found the net for Twente.
  • Sem Steijn has been a key player for Twente this season, serving as their top scorer with 17 goals—more than any other player in the league. Notably, seven of his goals have been pivotal first goals in matches. For Waalwijk, Oskar Zawada has been their most prolific scorer, with nine goals to his name, including three that opened matches. He is currently tied for fifth among the league's top scorers in the 2024/2025 season.
  • At De Grolsch Veste this season, Twente remains unbeaten in nine Eredivisie matches, boasting six wins and three draws. They are currently on a 15-match home unbeaten streak in the Eredivisie dating back to February 2024, when they faced Go Ahead Eagles. Meanwhile, Waalwijk is looking to improve its disappointing away record this season, which includes three draws, seven losses, and only one win in league matches on the road.
