Groningen vs Twente: Who Go Break Eight Years Winless Streak?

Groningen, Netherlands

As dem dey prepare for di big match on Sunday, Groningen go face FC Twente for Euroborg. Dis match no be just any ordinary game; e fit decide wetin go happen for di league top as both teams dey chase better position.

Currently, Groningen dey sit for fifth place, and if dem fit win, dem go fit move ahead of big boys like AZ Alkmaar and Ajax. But no be small task, oh! Dem never beat Twente for eight solid years (person fit say na dem don turn dem to ‘winless champions’)! Di last time wey dem conquer Twente na May and September 2017… you no fit believe say dem don play twelve times since and no win.

While dem dey look to break dis long losing streak, dem still dey recover from two recent losses at home to Feyenoord and Sparta Rotterdam. E no good make dem dey forget di small small wins dem collect against Heerenveen, Heracles, and Telstar earlier. Di pressure don dey build as dem know say dem need to secure victory to avoid any wahala for di table.

For di other side, FC Twente dey come with their own jigsaw puzzle, as dem try recover from wan *not-so-great* performance against Ajax, wey dem lose 3-2. But wey dem don get three straight away wins mode, anybody wey underestimate dem fit find dem self in serious level p проп. Just last week, dem don beat teams like FC Utrecht and Fortuna Sittard.

In terms of injuries, Groningen dey thank their stars say most of their players dey fit, sha. But Wouter Prins dey look like say him go miss di match, though one or two other players fit come change di game if dey come off bench (no be to comot cap for hin padi, but we dey watch). For FC Twente, dem dey suffer injury wahala; players like Daouda Weidmann and Nees Hilgers go no fit join di squad dis Sunday.

Groningen dey plan to start with: Vaessen; Rente, Blokzijl, Janse, Peersman; De Jonge, Resink; Van de Werff, Taha, Schreuders; Van Bergen. On di side of Twente, dem go likely start with Unnerstall; Van Rooij, Propper, Nijstad, Rots; Zerrouki, Van den Belt; Pjaca, Hlynsson, Orjasaeter; Van Wolfswinkel. *Make you note as wey di war dey unfold.*

Dis match fit no just shape di table but also tell us who fit stand di heat. Each team dey look for dat sweet taste of victory. Na wetin go happen? We no sabi, but dis one na classic example of how di game fit change with just one kick of ball. If Twente continue dem unbeaten run against Groningen, e fit make dem future look very bright. But if Groningen manage survive dis match and grab dem first victory over Twente in eight years, dem go go back to di drawing board with full swagger. Let di match begin!
