Twente vs ADO Den Haag: Eredivisie Form & Injury News
Published
FC Twente welcome struggling ADO Den Haag to De Grolsch Veste in Enschede this Saturday for round six of the Eredivisie. The hosts are looking to build on their strong recent form, while the visitors arrive desperate to secure their first league victory of the 2026 campaign.
Twente's Resurgence and Attacking Rhythm
After suffering an opening-day 1-0 defeat to Heerenveen, Twente have quickly found their stride in the Eredivisie. The Tukkers recorded back-to-back victories over PEC Zwolle (3-1) and Cambuur (4-1), before playing out a hard-fought 2-2 draw with Groningen. Up front, Wout Weghorst has hit the ground running since joining the Reds, scoring in consecutive games and looking to find the net for a third match running. His service has been aided by the creative spark of Sondre Orjasaeter, who has already registered two league assists this term.
ADO Den Haag's Winless Run
The situation is increasingly bleak for ADO Den Haag, who travel to Enschede without a win after five rounds of the Eredivisie season. Their defensive vulnerabilities were exposed again in their most recent outing. Despite a miraculous bouncing goal from Yannick Eduardo and an injury-time strike from Jesse Bal, ADO ultimately fell short. Sitting near the foot of the table, the visitors urgently need to tighten up at the back if they are to salvage their campaign.
Team News and Injury Latest
Twente will have to navigate a few key absentees. Mees Hilgers remains unavailable due to a long-term ligament injury, while Stam Lemkin and first-choice goalkeeper Lars Unnerstall are sidelined but expected back soon. Joel Drommel is poised to continue in goal behind a defensive line featuring Bart van Rooij and Robin Propper. ADO Den Haag have not reported fresh injury concerns following their recent defeat, but their ongoing struggles could prompt tactical adjustments to contain Twente's potent attack.
A positive result for Twente would help them push towards the coveted continental spots, while an away victory could finally ignite ADO Den Haag’s season. The visitors return home to host Fortuna Sittard next, while Twente will prepare for another league encounter against Telstar.
