Minutes
Seconds
Competition: Netherlands Eredivisie
Date: Fri 25.October
Match begins: 20:00 (UTC)
Venue: Grolsch Veste Stadium (30205 seats)

The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. FC Twente are in the 12th position while the guests worry at 14th.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting FC Emmen have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 7-2-7 (win-draw-loss) from 16 matches.

FC Twente have played 5 Eredivisie games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-2-2 (wins-draws-losses). It's trouble wherever FC Twente are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. The FC Twente manager Gonzalo García might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

The FC Twente crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Willem II here at Grolsch Veste Stadium in a Eredivisie match. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Sparta Rotterdam.

The manager D. Lukkien is not happy with the away performances in the Eredivisie so far, as all 4 matches have been lost. It's all red in the travel logs of FC Emmen, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.

FC Emmen are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the Eredivisie against Fortuna Sittard (placed 17th). A 0-2 defeat away at Heracles before that.
