De Grolsch Veste hosts Friday night’s Eredivisie clash as Twente face Telstar.

Twente and Telstar have met on three previous occasions since 2018. Twente won all three games, including two 3:1 victories.
Twente team overview
Twente return to De Grolsch Veste unbeaten in two matches after a 1:1 draw at Groningen last weekend. Kristian Hlynsson opened the scoring before Stije Resink's penalty ensured a share of the points at Euroborg Stadium.
The Tukkers have enjoyed a strong run of results in the past couple of months, scoring four victories while losing just one of their last eight matches since mid-September.
A high-scoring outcome seems inevitable in Friday's Eredivisie encounter. Twente have seen at least three goals scored in seven of their last eight matches. John van den Brom's men now sit ninth in the division, but only five points behind fourth-placed Ajax.
Head coach Van den Brom has three expected absentees ahead of Friday's Eredivisie fixture. Injured trio Sam Lammers, Mathias Kjølø and Max Bruns are tipped to remain sidelined.

Telstar team overview
Telstar travel to Enschede following an entertaining yet frustrating 2-2 draw with Excelsior last weekend. Anthony Correia’s men looked set for victory after going two goals up, but late strikes from the visitors saw them forced to settle for just a point.
A poor run of form has seen the visitors pick up just one point from their last four league games, and they now find themselves inside the relegation zone. Telstar have collected just eight points from 11 games played.
Considering the White Lions recent form, goals seem likely in Friday's Eredivisie encounter. Five of Telstar's last six games also delivered a minimum of three match goals while four of those games also saw both teams get on the scoresheet.
Head coach Correia has a strong squad available for the trip to Enschede. Mohamed Hamdaoui is the only confirmed absentee for the visitors.
