Twente and Heracles will battle for three points in an Eredivisie matchday eight clash on Sunday (October 5th). The game will be played at De Grolsch Veste.
The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 3-2 victory over Fortuna Sittard at the same venue last weekend. They went into the break in the lead thanks to Ricky van Wolfswinkel's 38th-minute penalty. Bart van Rooij and Thomas van den Belt scored second-half goals for the hosts while Justin Lonwijk and Luka Tunjic scored for the visitors.
Heracles, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Sparta Rotterdam. Jizz Hornkamp broke the deadlock in first-half injury time and completed his brace in the 69th minute after Yvandro Sanches had made it 2-0.
