Twente to Win
Twente will be heavy favorites to win this matchup. They had a terrific first part of the season keeping pressure on the best teams in the league until they made a couple of mistakes in their last two games only collecting two points from a couple of draw games. However, Emmen is a perfect opponent to restart their campaign positively.
Both Teams to Score – No
Twente has the best defense in Eredivisie, they are the only team with a single-digit number in the conceded goals column. That fact is perfectly summoned in their home record where they are almost perfect with six wins and a draw, the latter coming in a surprise fashion, just as the first part of the season was about to end, against the Go Ahead Eagles. Their goal difference at home is 19-2.

Predicted Lineups, Preview, and Team News
Twente
The Enschede team certainly felt disappointed by going winless in their last two league matches before the World Cup break, especially against the Go Ahead Eagles at home. However, when we look at their first 14 games with general assessment, it is something that the Twente players can feel proud of. They are still hoping that there is a chance they could fight for the title, as the battle in the higher ups of the rankings is close, and there is little that separates the best teams in the country. Twente doesn't have major injury issues, Dimitrios Limnios is out with an ACL injury, while there is a doubt whether Joshua Brenet, Michal Sadilek, Wout Brama, and Christos Tzolis will play against Emmen.
Predicted lineup: Unnerstall, Salah-Eddine, Hilgers, Pleguezuelo, Smal, Zerrouki, Vlap, Cerny, Steijn, Misidjan, van Wolfswinkel.
Emmen
The visitors are the first team under the relegation line, at the 16th spot in the rankings which would take them into the relegation playoffs against a team from the Second Division. Fighting to stay in the Eredivisie is something that Emmen players, fans, as well as the management knew were going to happen. They have recorded only two wins this season out of 14 matches, but the curious thing is that they went undefeated in four out of their last five games. The question is whether they can regain that type of form for the restart of the season. Emmen had a decent preparation period registering two wins and a loss in friendly matches. They stayed domestically playing against Dutch sides as they were training for the continuation of the season. Their injury list is a long one, Maikel Kieftenbeld and Jeff Hardeveld are out for the season, while Ole Romeny, Metehan Guclu, Ben Scholte, and Mart Lieder are doubtful to play against Twente.
Predicted lineup: van der Hart, Burnet, Veldmate, Araujo, Bouchouari, Bernadou, Veendorp, Assehnoun, Diemers, Mendes, Zivkovic.
