Twente vs Heerenveen Match Analysis & Prediction
17/09/2024 9:00 pm
In their rescheduled encounter from round three of the 2024-25 Eredivisie season, FC Twente and Heerenveen meet at De Grolsch Veste on Tuesday night.
Off the back of a first league defeat of the season just before the international break, Twente were unable to deliver an instant response in a 1-1 draw with PEC Zwolle when the sides met on Saturday.
Despite flying out of the blocks in front of their fans, Joseph Oosting’s side found themselves behind within the opening eight minutes to Dylan Vente’s strike, after which Sem Steijn restored parity just past the hour mark.
Twente currently occupy 12th position in the Eredivisie standings, having picked up five points from a possible 12 this season, four points adrift of the top four, although with a game in hand.
Meanwhile, two weeks on from their 4-0 home victory over newly-prmoted NAC Breda, Heerenveen were left disappointed at the AFAS Stadion on Saturday night through a 9-1 defeat to AZ Alkmaar.
After conceding an early Sven Mijnans strike, Robin van Persie’s side wasted no time equalising through Luuk Brouwers, but what followed was an onslaught by Troy Parrott, who scored four times, including a second-half hat-trick over an eight-minute span.
Heerenveen’s defeat to AZ saw them become just the third team in Eredivisie history and the first since 1966 to concede at least eight goals on more than one occasion within the same calendar year.
Van Persie’s side have come out on top in just one of their most recent eight matches on the road across all competitions and head to Enschede currently on a four-game losing run away from home.

In the previous 67 meetings between these two teams, Twente have claimed 29 victories while Heerenveen have won 21, and they have drawn in 17. Heerenveen have scored 92 goals and conceded 110 in the process.

Twente Team News
Czech Republic international Michal Sad Iek is still a considerable way off making his return to action having not made an appearance since early June due to a shin injury.
Steijn has racked up four direct goal contributions – three goals and an assist – in his last four matches, making him one to keep an eye on here.

Heerenveen Team News
Amara Conde is a guaranteed absentee for Heerenveen in this game as he prepares to sit out a fifth straight match with an injury he sustained in pre-season.
Although in defeat, Luuk Brouwers was on target for the second game running last time out, and the 26-year-old will be looking to deliver the goods once again.
