NEC vs Twente H2H Stats, Lineups and Live Stream

Preview

NEC square off with Twente in the Eredivisie of Netherlands action on October 18, starting at 14:30 UTC.

5 months after their last meeting in Eredivisie Conference League Play Offs, NEC and Twente are set to clash again. In their last encounter, Twente secured a 3-2 win. NEC come into this match fresh off a victory over AZ in Eredivisie on September 28. However, their streak comes with a caveat, their inability to keep a clean sheet has been evident, as they have allowed goals in four consecutive matches. NEC have a key fixture leading up to the match against Twente though, taking on Go Ahead Eagles in Eredivisie, a fixture that is likely to influence their form and fitness ahead of their clash with Twente.

Twente come into this clash with momentum in the same manner, following two straight victories against Fortuna Sittard and Sparta Rotterdam in their most recent games. Though notably, their backline has lacked consistency, with goals conceded across eight consecutive matches. Ahead of their clash with NEC, Twente must first take on Heracles Almelo in Eredivisie, and the result of this game could have a lasting impact on their mindset ahead of the NEC game.

This Eredivisie clash shines a light on the players who have played crucial roles in creating and converting chances for NEC and Twente in this campaign. Brian Linssen and Tjaronn Chery have been pivotal for NEC’s attack, under Dick Schreuder’s guidance, combining to deliver important goals and assists. Linssen has emerged as NEC’s leading scorer in Eredivisie this season, netting three goals, while also excelling as their primary creator, registering four assists in the competition so far. Supporting them are Koki Ogawa, Basar Onal and Virgil Misidjan, who have also chipped in with important goals and assists, adding depth to NEC’s attack.

Meanwhile, the attacking efforts of Twente, carefully orchestrated by John van den Brom, have been driven by Ricky van Wolfswinkel, the team’s primary goal threat, and Kristian Hlynsson, both of whom have delivered in crucial moments. van Wolfswinkel leads Twente’s scoring charts in Eredivisie this season with three goals, with Hlynsson leading their creative tally in the league with two assists. Bart van Rooij, Daan Rots and Naci Unuvar have made their presence felt as well, chipping in with decisive contributions in attack.
