    Team News

    • Danny Buijs is missing Iván Márquez and Yassin Oukili, but has the majority of his preferred choices at his disposal.

    • Mattijs Branderhorst is likely to remain in goal, with Ivo Pinto, Rodrigo Guth, Justin Hubner and Jasper Dahlhaus in front of him. Fortuna’s more conservative defensive strategy requires this backline to withstand prolonged pressure rather than defend in advanced areas.

    • Shiloh ’t Zand and Philip Brittijn are set to anchor the midfield, enabling Ihattaren and Michut to roam further forward. Both have provided two assists, with Ihattaren also netting three times and creating a team-leading two clear scoring opportunities.

    • Ole Romeny is expected to operate from the left, behind Anthony Descotte, with Romeny averaging 1.4 shots on target per game. Fortuna’s most potent threat will continue to be their pace after losing possession, especially if Twente push both full-backs into advanced positions.

    • John van den Brom is without Stav Lemkin, who is sidelined with an abdominal muscle injury, with Twente otherwise close to full strength.

    • Lars Unnerstall is set to start in goal, with Bart van Rooij, Robin Pröpper, Max Bruns and Ruud Nijstad in front of him. Twente have conceded just one goal per game and boast one of the strongest defensive records in the league.

    • Younes Taha, Ramiz Zerrouki and Daouda Weidmann are likely to form the midfield trio. Weidmann arrives in fine form after scoring the winner against PSV, while Taha also netted in that match.

    • Further forward, Wout Weghorst tops Twente's scoring chart with four league goals, with Sondre Ørjasæter providing creativity from the left and Filip Thorvaldsen starting on the right. That front three offers Twente a valuable mix of physicality, width and direct running.
