Waalwijk will host Twente at the Mandemakers Stadion on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 Eredivisie campaign. The home side have endured a wretched start to their season and now find themselves rock-bottom in the league standings as they continue to search for their first point of the season.
They suffered a narrow but flattering 3-2 defeat to Utrecht in their last match. They started the game on the front foot, taking the lead after two minutes via a Denilho Cleonise strike, before a red card to Aaron Meijers midway through the first half saw their opponents come from behind to clinch all three points.
Meanwhile, Twente have had mixed results in the league this season, although they remain in contention for continental football. They were beaten 2-1 by Feyenoord in their last match, heading into the break two goals down before Sem Steijn halved the deficit 10 minutes from normal time.
The visitors remain fourth in the table with 14 points picked up so far and will be looking to mark their return to action this weekend with a win.
