D1 - Football - Netherlands - Eredivisie
Without target and in a run of five consecutive defeats - only two of them arrived with minimun disavantage both against relegation fighters (Sparta and Heracles) - Groningen clearly shown absolute no interest in the match in last round with alck of concentration and here guests surely without key def. Van Hintum ( 27+1) and topscorer Larsen ( 13g) as new misses, while Irandust ( midf. 8+9 1g), Duarte ( midf. 24+1 1g), Te Wierik ( def. 23+1), all in in last round, are doubtful.
Twente with only mathematical chances to join direct place of conference league: they should win both remaining matches and Feyeenord loose both, plus must be recovered a huge goal difference among these two teams.
But hosts should be more motivated in spite of defeat against relegation contender Sittard in las round.
Twente with nine wins and only two defeats at home, where has the second best defense after Ajax. Hosts motivated to play in memory of ex-team mate Lukoki, suddenly dead in these days, only 29 years old aged.
On the other front, apart misses and terrible performances, traienr of Groningen revealed some tension and quarreling among his players, if Twente not became suddenly a team in holydays mood as Groningen already made this should be a clear and big home win
