FC Twente will be looking to confirm their place in the final of the Eredivisie Conference League playoffs when they welcome Heerenveen to De Grolsch Veste on Sunday.
Having claimed a first-leg advantage last time out, the home side are in the driving seat to progress but their visitors are still in with a fighting chance.
We say: FC Twente 1-0 Heerenveen
Twente's home form of late gives them reason for optimism heading into this one but Heerenveen have also been tough to beat on the road recently. We expect a keenly-contested affair with the hosts narrowly emerging victorious in the end.

Sparta Rotterdam and FC Utrecht will meet for the second time in the space of a few days when they contest the second leg of their European competition playoff semi-final on Sunday.
The home side take a 2-1 advantage into this fixture after prevailing in the opening match, with a showdown with Heerenveen or FC Twente awaiting the winner.
We say: Sparta Rotterdam 1-1 FC Utrecht (Sparta Rotterdam to win 3-2 on aggregate)
Utrecht have bounced back on numerous occasions in recent weeks to head into this fixture with enough confidence to do so again. However, with Sparta having a lead to defend, their task is made tougher, and we feel that the home side will show the know-how to avoid defeat.
