Preview: FC Twente vs. ADO Den Haag - prediction, team news, lineups

Sports Mole previews Sunday's Eredivisie clash between FC Twente and ADO Den Haag, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

After the confirmation of their exit from the Eredivisie last time out, ADO Den Haag travel to the Grolsch Veste Stadium on Sunday to face off against FC Twente.

On the other hand, Twente are without a league victory since February, and they will be looking to end the campaign on a high.


Match preview

Twente suffered defeat for a fifth time in six league games following a 2-1 loss to RKC Waalwijk on Thursday.

Danilo gave Ron Jans's men the lead just after half time, before a quickfire brace from Sylla Sow turned the game on its head.

With 38 points from 33 matches, The Tukkers remain in 12th place on the log, six points adrift of what is now a mathematically impossible top-half finish.

Sunday's visitors will look back on a highly disappointing second half of the season before which they were set to secure European football.

In the meantime, all they can do is put an end to an 11-game winless run and lift the mood a bit going into next season.

ADO Den Haag missed out on the opportunity to record a third consecutive win for the first time this term as they were thrashed 4-1 by Willem II on Thursday.

Vangelis Pavlidis scored a brace in the opening quarter of the game before setting up Kwasi Okyere Wriedt's 40th-minute strike.

Michiel Kramer's pulled one back for Ruud Brood's men midway through the second half, but Che Nunnely restored his side's three-goal lead moments later.

That defeat was the final nail in De Residentieclub's coffin, bringing an end to their 13-year stay in the top flight.

A chance to bow out in style awaits against a side who they will be seeking to exact revenge on for a 2-0 loss in November's reverse fixture.

Team News

Vaclav Cerny's race for the season has been fully run after he picked up a season-ending knee injury in February.

Like Cerny, Julio Pleguezuelo is also sidelined with a damaged knee, and he is out for the remainder of the current campaign.

Kik Pierie was forced off against Utrecht due to a thigh injury which has made the 20-year-old defender miss each of his side's last three outings.

Dario Del Fabro is expected to miss a sixth league game on the bounce as the Italian remains out with a hamstring injury.

The away team will also have to cope with the absence of Peet Bijen, who pulled up with an ankle injury back in October.

FC Twente possible starting lineup:
Drommel; Smal, Markelo, Dumic, Ebuehi; Roemeratoe, Bosch, Zerrouki; Menig, Danilo, Narsingh

ADO Den Haag possible starting lineup:
Koopman; Familio-Castillo, Kemper, Zuiverloon, Van Ewijk; Pinas, Vejinovic, Pinas; Bourard, Kramer, Besuijen
