While the hosts could only manage a draw with NEC Nijmegen in their return to league proceedings last weekend, the visitors claimed a 2-0 victory over FC Emmen.

That 1-1 draw with NEC means that Ajax remain in second place in the standings, three points behind league leaders Feyenoord, with a pivotal contest at Feyenoord Stadium to come on January 22.

Despite last weekend’s draw, Ajax enter the contest fresh off the back of a victory after a 2-0 win over Den Bosch on Wednesday, in the second round of the KNVB-Beker.

Last time out, FC Twente claimed a 3-1 victory over Telstar in the KNVB-Beker second round through a brace from Daan Rots and a goal from Virgil Misidjan.

Prior to that, Ron Jan’s side marked their return to league action with a 2-0 victory over FC Emmen, after Ricky van Wolfswinkel broke the deadlock in the opening five minutes before Michal Sadilek added a second goal in the second half.

FC Twente are now unbeaten in their last six Eredivisie matches, with their last defeat being the 2-0 loss away at Feyenoord back on October 9.
