In this stadium, the history of direct confrontations is favorable to the home team, which records 4 victories in the last 4 games. In fact, the last time these two teams played a game at this stadium was on 29‑09-2017, in a match for the Eredivisie that ended the victory of FC Twente by (2‑1). The goals of the match were scored by F. Jensen (2 ‘) and D. Holla (76’), for FC Twente, and P. Gladon (52 ‘), for Heracles. In this match the home factor may be decisive, since both teams have considerable differences in the results won at home and as a visitor.
FC Twente :
After 3 wins and 3 draws, the home team is currently in 3rd position, with 12 points won. In their last match, they won Fortuna Sittard out by (2‑3), after in the previous match they won by (3‑1) at home, in a match against FC Utrecht. This is a team that curiously conquers more positive results as a visitor than at home, since in the last 30 matches it records 10 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses as a visitor, with 28 goals scored and 20 suffered; against 7 wins, 7 draws and 1 loss in his stadium, with 23 goals scored and 10 suffered. In their last 10 home games FC Twente records 3 wins and 7 draws.
For this competition, he did not lose any of the last 6 games. The team allowed goals to the opponent in 5 of the last 6 games, so he has not presented great defensive strength, but his attack has scored regularly, since he scored goals in 5 of the last 6 games for this competition. In the last 5 home games for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: he scored 3 of his 8 goals between minutes (76′ ‑ 90 ‘).
Like any team that goes up the division, the idea of Twente is to avoid returning to the lower division. However, that is not only what you expect, but will try to stay at least in the upper half of the table. The difficulty will always exist and that cannot be denied, but he wants to play well in all his games, to get good results. On the current duel, of course, he will enter the field to score points, preferably with a victory. In this match, Paul Verhaegh, Wout Brama and Matos will be absent, for being in the medical department.
Heracles :
After 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, the away team is currently in 10th position, with 8 points won. In their last match, they won Willem II at home by (4-1), after in the previous match they had won out, in a match against Groningen, by (1-2). This is a team that curiously has been stronger outside than at home, since in the last 30 matches it records 8 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses as a visitor; against 6 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses in his stadium. In the last 10 games played as a visitor for all competitions, Heracles won 6, drew 1 and lost 3. The team has not been very strong defensively, since it has always suffered goals in the last 6 games played in this competition. There is a tendency to have goals in their away matches, since 22 of the last 24 games they played have ended with Over 1.5 goals.
The oscillations at this start of the season were not what Heracles Almelo expected and that is reflected in the position he is in. Of course, his great desire is to have a satisfactory campaign, but it must evolve. Throughout the rounds, you want to show quality, objectivity and efficiency, so you can achieve good results. On his current duel, of course, there will be difficulties, but he will do everything possible to obtain a satisfactory result. In this match, Sebastian Jakubiak and Mohammed Osman will be absent, because they are in the medical department.
