Preview: FC Twente vs. Cambuur - prediction, team news, lineups

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

Both looking to build on victories last time out, FC Twente will welcome Cambuur to De Grolsch Veste Enschede for an Eredivisie meeting at the weekend.

The hosts strengthened their position in the top five of the Eredivisie table with a win over RKC Waalwijk last weekend, while their visitors handed a defeat to Fortuna Sittard to end a winless run.

After making a strong start to the new domestic season, FC Twente have continued their fine form in recent months, winning 11 out of their last 17 games across all competitions, including nine Eredivisie triumphs.

That saw them establish themselves in the top-four race, but Ron Jans's side would face a minor setback, suffering a 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Ajax before playing out an underwhelming 2-2 draw with Go Ahead Eagles.

The Tukkers were able to make a return to winning ways last time out, defeating RKS Waalwijk 2-1 away from home thanks to Dimitris Limnios's 90th-minute goal after Ricky van Wolfswinkel's opener was cancelled out.

That has seen them move five points clear of sixth-placed Vitesse while remaining just three points behind AZ Alkmaar, giving Jans's side the required incentive to add another notch to their wins column at the weekend.

However, their visitors will also be looking to build on a positive result after they defeated Fortuna Sittard at the weekend.

Cambuur enjoyed an eye-catching first half to the season after winning promotion last campaign, earning 27 points from their first 16 league matches.

That was until they hit a particularly tough spell, earning just three points and failing to earn a victory from a run of seven games spanning December, January and February.

Henk de Jong's side were finally able to post a three-point haul last time out, defeating Fortuna Sittard 2-1 thanks to Tom Boere's brace after Deroy Duarte had given the away side a lead in the first half.

That saw the Yellow-Blues climb back above NEC and up to eighth spot in the Eredivisie, and they will now go in search of a second straight win to strengthen their position in the top half.

Team News

Twente are missing several players due to injuries, as Kik Pierie, Wout Brama, Luca Everink and Manfred Ugalde are all sidelined.

Winger Dimitris Limnios will hope that his late winning goal off the bench last time out will be enough to earn him a starting berth, although he will likely have to displace Daan Rots.

Meanwhile, Ricky van Wolfswinkel will lead the line with confidence, having netted his 12th goal in what has been an impressive Eredivisie season last time out.

Cambuur have fewer injuries to deal with, although forward Roberts Uldrikis remains a notable absentee after netting five goals in the first 14 games of the league campaign.

Dutchman Tom Boere has tended to lead the line in his absence, netting six goals in his 18 top-flight appearances this term.

FC Twente possible starting lineup:
Unnerstall; Troupee, Propper, Pleguezuelo, Smal; Sadilek, Zerrouki; Limnios, Vlap, Misidjan; Van Wolfswinkel

Cambuur possible starting lineup:
Stevens; Schmidt, Mac-Intosh, Schouten, Bangura; Paulissen, Maulun, Hoedemakers; Joosten, Boere, Kallon


SM words green background

We say: FC Twente 2-1 Cambuur

Both sides will be on a high following their wins last time out, and this could go either way, but we give a narrow edge to the hosts.

Twente have shown themselves to be the slightly stronger of the two over the course of the campaign, and they will look to build another winning run on the back of last week's result.
