    Twente
    • Two players will miss Twente's match this weekend: Sam Lammers and Taylor Booth are ruled out due to injury.
    • Following their 2-0 win at Sparta Rotterdam last time out, head coach Joseph Oosting is expected to make few changes, if any, to his starting lineup. That being said, left winger Sayfallah Ltaief is pushing for a start.
    • Sem Steijn, though, should be there from kick-off. He has been a game-changer for Twente this season. Steijn is the club's top scorer with 24 goals, with no other player managing more in the league in 2024/25; nine of those have been the critical first goal of the match.
    Utrecht
    • Utrecht faces challenges ahead of its latest Eredivisie matchday, with at least five players—Mike van der Hoorn, Zidane Iqbal, Rafik El Arguioui, Can Bozdoğan, and Rickson van Hees—unavailable due to injury, while Miguel Rodríguez serves a suspension.
    • Rodríguez reached the yellow card threshold last time out as Utrecht won 4-0 at RKC Waalwijk and could be replaced in Utrecht's starting lineup by Miliano Jonathans, though head coach Ron Jans has other options in Jens Toornstra and Adrian Blake.
    • Van der Hoorn came off hurt in that victory, and Matisse Didden should replace him in the heart of Utrecht's defence.
    • Looking at players who have made a difference in 2024–2025, Utrecht's leading lights in attack have been Paxten Aaronson, Yoann Cathline, and Noah Ohio, who have netted seven, six, and five times, respectively.
