Twente will face Utrecht at De Grolsch Veste on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Eredivisie campaign.
The home side have performed well in the league this season and are targeting a return to the continental stage. They beat Excelsior 3-0 in their last match with Daan Rots opening the scoring after just two minutes before Ricky van Wolfswinkel scored a first-half brace to seal the points.
Twente sit third in the league standings with 44 points from 21 games. They are five points behind second-placed Feyenoord and will look to reduce that gap.
Utrecht have found good form of late after a disastrous start to their season and are now pushing for the qualification playoff spots. They thrashed Fortuna Sittard 4-0 in their last match with three different players getting on the scoresheet including USA international Taylor Booth, who scored a brace.
The visitors sit mid-table in ninth place with 26 points and will look to continue their good run of results on Sunday.
