Sparta Rotterdam, Recent FormThe Sparta Rotterdam squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 away defeat against Ajax, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 10, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 7 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 2 clean sheets in those games.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Sparta recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Joshua Kitolano will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Sparta Rotterdam's last 6 league games.
FC Twente, Recent FormFC Twente will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 4-2 win in their home outing against Excelsior.
While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 11 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
With an unbeaten league tally of 5 games from 6, their recent form should be viewed positively, especially with 3 wins thrown in.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for FC Twente, Sem Steijn will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 3-3 draw.
The last 4 matches between Sparta and De Tukkers show that Sparta have let in at least one goal on each occasion. The Twente defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit De Kasteelheren in the league, with Twente conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings. Playing away from home, Twente have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 league games against Sparta.
It has been a share of the points the last 2 times these sides have met in the league, with the game ending in a draw on both occasions; that said, Twente may be feeling slightly more positive, having built up a run of 5 matches undefeated against their opponents.
With only Pelle Clement (Knee) and Koki Saito (Unknown) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Jeroen Rijsdijk will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Twente manager Joseph Oosting has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
