Heerenveen will host Twente at the Abe Lenstra Stadion on Wednesday in another round of the 2023-24 Eredivisie campaign.
The home side have hit a rough patch of late and are falling behind in the race for the qualification playoffs. They were held to a 1-1 draw by Waalwijk in their last match, taking the lead via a Pelle van Amersfoort strike before their opponents leveled the scores from long range midway through the second half.
Heerenveen sit 11th in the league table with 32 points from 27 matches. They will look to shake off their latest results and get their campaign back on track this week.
Twente, meanwhile, have enjoyed an impressive league campaign and now have their sights set on continental football. They picked up a narrow 1-0 victory over Heracles Almelo in their game at the weekend, with Monaco loanee Myron Boadu scoring the game's only goal early after the restart.
The visitors sit third in the Eredivisie standings with 56 points picked up so far and will be looking to continue their good run of form on Wednesday.
