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

Having lost both of their opening two games of the new Eredivisie season, Cambuur welcome FC Twente to the Cambuur-Stadion on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Twente picked up their first point of the season last time out and head into this weekend's contest looking for their first win.


Match preview

After an opening-day loss to Fortuna Sittard, Twente held defending champions Ajax to a 1-1 stalemate at the Grolsch Veste Stadium on Sunday.

Ron Jans's men were set for another disappointing outing as Sebastien Haller's strike early into the second half looked to be the winner, but Robin Propper popped up with an 87th-minute leveller to ensure a share of the spoils.

The Tukkers are now on a run of six games without a victory stretching back to the final day of last season, when they defeated the now-relegated ADO Den Haag 3-2.

Saturday's visitors will hope to put an end to that rough patch against a side who have not won any of the last nine meetings between the teams.

Cambuur were thrashed 4-1 by last year's runners-up PSV Eindhoven in their second league fixture on Saturday at the Philips Stadion.

Henk de Jong's men had a mountain to climb at half time courtesy of goals from Davy Propper and Eran Zahavi, before second-half goals from Noni Madueke and Olivier Boscagli either side of a Alex Bangura consolation strike put the result beyond doubt.

The Yellow-Blues currently find themselves bottom of the log with the most goals conceded after the first two round of matches.

While it is still early days, Saturday's hosts will be keen to get their season up and running to avoid being left too far behind.

Team News

Twente will once again be without the services of Vaclav Cerny and Julio Pleguezuelo, who are still sidelined with knee injuries since the back end of last season.

Defender Kik Pierie is also ruled out for the home side as he continues to nurse a back problem which he picked up in April.

Jody Lukoki misses out through a damaged knee, while Ricky van Wolfswinkel is set to sit out a second consecutive game due to a muscle tear.

Cambuur's Calvin Mac-Intosch was subbed off at half time last time out, and the 32-year-old is a doubt for this weekend's contest.

Marco Tol came on for Mac-Intosch in the aforementioned game and is likely to be named in the starting XI for this one.

Cambuur possible starting lineup:
Stevens; Bangura, Schouten, Tol, Schmidt; Maulun, Breij, Hoedemakers; Kallon, Doodeman, Hendriks

FC Twente possible starting lineup:
Unnerstall; Smal, Oosterwolde, Propper, Troupee; Zerrouki, Bosch, Vlap; Menig, Ugalde, Ilic


We say: Cambuur 1-1 FC Twente

Cambuur will be desperate to put an end to their losing streak and breathe life into their domestic campaign. On the other hand, Twente go in search of all three points after only managing one last time out. However, we are backing a share of the spoils, which should leave neither side too dissatisfied at the full-time whistle.
