Twente and Almere City battle for three points in an Eredivisie matchday 25 clash on Sunday at De Grolsch Veste.

Twente vs Almere Prediction
Twente are three points behind PSV Eindhoven in third place as they seek a return to the UEFA Champions League for the first time since 2012.
The Reds have been dominant in front of their fans this season, with 62% of their total points coming at home. Joseph Oostings' side will be expected to keep their seven-game home winning run going against the division's worst side.
Almere are 10 points away from safety and are unlikely to be playing top-flight football next season. They have never claimed a point in this fixture but could draw inspiration from their performance against Ajax last weekend.
Even though they lost the game, Jeroen Rijsdijk's side gave a good account of themselves, dominating large swathes and having more shots than the table-toppers.
Nevertheless, expect Twente to claim a comfortable victory and also keep a clean sheet.
