Twente and Almere City battle for three points in an Eredivisie matchday 25 clash on Sunday at De Grolsch Veste.
The hosts are coming off a 1-1 draw at Groningen last weekend. Twente went behind to Thomvan Bergen's 32nd-minute strike before Sam Steijn drew the game level from the spot in first-half injury time.
Almere, meanwhile, fell to a 1-0 home defeat to AFC Ajax Amsterdam. Kenneth Taylor's eighth-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides. The loss left De Zwarte Schapen at the foot of the standings, with 14 points from 24 games, while Twente are fifth with 43 points.

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.
