Fortuna Sittard
- Fortuna Sittard are also in great form, winning four and losing one of their last five and coming into the game on the back of consecutive victories.
- Fortuna are a flexible, compact unit that can switch seamlessly between a 4-3-3 and 5-3-2 shape and are excellent in transition, pressing hard and turning teams over at the front.
- Ihattaren has scored three of Fortuna's eight goals in their last five games, which makes him one to watch alongside De Tukkers' danger man Wout Weghorst, who tops the Eredivisie 2026/2027 scoring with four goals in seven.
FC Twente
- De Tukkers occupy fourth place with 16 points from seven, while Fortunezen are sixth with 13 points from the same number of games.
- De Tukkers have won four, drawn one of their last five and come into this game on the back of a three-game winning streak that has seen John van den Brom's side beat ADO Den Haag and PSV Eindhoven.
- Van den Brom's team have a more methodical approach, setting up in a 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 that is built around possession, with his full-backs pushing high and the double pivot keeping the machine balanced, while the press is selective and not manic.
Head-to-Head
- FC Twente have won four of their last five meetings with Fortuna Sittard (1 draw).
- Twente will be looking to add to Fortuna's misery in this fixture as they have won the most recent meeting 2-1, which was in the Eredivisie 2025/2026 season, and Fortunezen have failed to beat De Tukkers in their last two home games, which may give some hope to the hosts.
