There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a KNVB Beker game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at SC Heerenveen. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

FC Twente form and stats

FC Twente have played 11 Eredivisie games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-3-5 (wins-draws-losses). FC Twente are slowly digging their own grave here at De Grolsch Veste with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the PEC Zwolle match.

Happy days for Twente in their previous game, a Eredivisie match away at Vitesse (placed 4th) that ended with a 2-0 victory. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting PSV (0-3).

Twente are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 14 goals in 11 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 15 goals have been conceded.

Feyenoord form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Eredivisie travels is 6 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Feyenoord are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Two away games in a row for Feyenoord, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 3-4 versus SC Heerenveen in the KNVB Beker. A home win before that, celebrating 5-0 vs Willem II.

A huge disappointment for Feyenoord in their last match (vs SC Heerenveen). Leading 3-1 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 3-4 defeat. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Feyenoord, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Feyenoord manager D. Advocaat as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against FC Groningen.

Feyenoord has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 19 goals from 10 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Feyenoord have conceded 11 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

The teams have played each other before this season, with the result Feyenoord - Twente 1-1 entered in the official records.
