Twente-NAC Breda Statistical Preview

Probable Lineups

Team News

Twente

• Luka Djordjevic is in line for a start if Luc Castaignos fails to shake off an injury sustained on international duty with the Dutch U21s. The Russian striker, on loan from Zenit Saint Petersburg, will be supported by Promes and Tadic.
• Kyle Ebecilio could also miss the visit of NAC Breda. If he does, Shadrach Eghan Kwesi is expected to drop back into midfield with Youness Mokhtar playing in the deep-lying forward role.
• Dico Koppers remains sidelined, so Robbert Schilder will continue at left-back.

NAC Breda

• Mark Looms will miss the trip of Enschede but apart from that, Nebojsa Gudelj has a fully fit squad available to him.
• He is though expected to field the side that impressively beat PSV last time out.

Match Facts

• There have been over 2.5 goals scored in NAC Breda’s last 5 games in Eredivisie.
• Twente are undefeated in their last 9 home matches against NAC Breda in all competitions.
• Twente are undefeated in their last 7 home matches in Eredivisie.
• NAC Breda have failed to win 10 of their last 11 away matches in Eredivisie.

Prediction

• FC Twente are unbeaten at home, but have only record two wins from six played. They were guilty of throwing a two-goal lead, against bottom side NEC, in their last home game.
• Overall, the side from Enschede are currently on a four game winless streak: three draws and one defeat. After starting the campaign impressively, Michel Jansen’s side appear to have hit a brick wall.
• The game against NAC Breda, who have won just once in their last 11 away games, presents an opportunity to return to winning ways.
