Twente had the opportunity to stay alone at the leading position in Eredivisie, but failed to get anything positive out of visiting Den Haag last weekend, losing the game with 3:2 result. In the first halftime they missed a lot of opportunities and were back in the scoreline after ten minutes in the second half with two goals conceded.

Although the team managed to bounce back with goals from Castaignos and Rosales, but still had to leave the field with empty hands due to goal conceded two minutes before the full time whistle. Coach Jansen was satisfied with the players performance in the first halftime, saying that they didn’t take advantage of their superior and that they paid it in the repetition. He was also disappointed that although the team bounced back from two goals down, they lost the point with a counterattack. Still, the team has very good atmosphere at the moment as they are still occupying the first position and will be looking for a here tonight. Midfielder Brama is the only absentee for the home team, as he didn’t play this season. After starting last weekend offensive midfielder Mokhtar will be hoping to continue on the left flank, while Tadic should be at the right wing.

The Dutch Eredivisie football match between Ajax Amsterdam (2nd) and Vitesse (7th) kicks off on 02 November 2013.
Ajax Amsterdam has played 6 Dutch Eredivisie matches this season on Amsterdam ArenA. On home ground Ajax Amsterdam has won 5, drawn 1 and lost 0 matches. This ranks Ajax 1st in home team performance in the Dutch Eredivisie.


Ajax

Frank de Boer could start Daley Blind in midfield, resting Christian Poulsen in the process, with an eye on Ajax's upcoming Champions League game against Celtic. Nicolai Boilesen would naturally start at left-back.Joël Veltman will continue in place of Niklas Moisander if the Finland is unavailable.

Vitesse
 Jan-Arie van der Heijden returns from suspension to face his former club.
Despite dropping two points last weekend, Peter Bosz is expected to name the same XI that started against Groningen, which means another start for Christian Atsu in the advanced midfield position.

Vitesse has played 6 Dutch Eredivisie matches this season away from home. On away ground Vitesse has won 2, drawn 2 and lost 2 matches. This ranks Vitesse 5th in away team performance in the Dutch Eredivisie.

Juventus go back on the road to face Parma after responding well to their first Serie A defeat of the season in their previous away match.
The last time Juventus won away in Parma, Alex Manninger played in goal, David Trézéguet started up front and Hasan Salihamidžić scored the opener. It's not an era the bianconeri fans will be too keen to remember. Two back-to-back scudetti and a dramatically improved squad later, and Juve still haven't managed to beat the gialloblu on their own turf.
That result saw the champions lose ground on Serie A leaders Roma but their overall form, which has seen them drop just five points from the 30 available, still has them in a strong position heading into Saturday's match.
And their response to the setback has been impressive, with six goals scored in the previous two games without reply - while only Roma and Inter can better Juve's haul of 22 strikes this term.
Parma's home record has bailed them out of trouble after Roberto Donadoni's charges kicked off the campaign with a four-match winless run.
A three-game winning streak at the Stadio Ennio Tardini - including a dramatic 3-2 triumph over AC Milan - has lifted them to the relative safety of mid-table, but they have not beaten this weekend's visitors in the last four meetings.
Parma have fared relatively well against Juve on home soil in their two most recent title-winning seasons, holding them to a goalless stalemate in the 2011-12 campaign and a 1-1 draw last term.
Juve's last win in Parma came in January 2010, when a Paolo Castellini own goal sealed a 2-1 victory for the visitors.
The hosts will look to Marco Parolo for inspiration, with the 28-year-old midfielder having scored five of their 16 league goals, including a double in the win over the Rossoneri.
Neither side has any fresh injury concerns, with Fabio Quagliarella and Mirko Vucinic unlikely to return from their thigh injuries for Juventus. Carlos Tevez and Arturo Vidal - with seven and eight goals apiece in all competitions this season - will look to carry the Bianconeri threat.

Marseille coach Elie Baup has urged supporters not to dwell on their Champions League woes and focus on helping the club rise up the Ligue 1 table, starting on Saturday against Reims.
OM slumped to their fourth successive defeat in all competitions in midweek after going down 2-1 at home to Napoli.
That result has all but ended their hopes of advancing from Group F, which also includes Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal, but Baup is hoping the fans can make allowances given the quality of opposition they are facing in Europe.
He said in L'Equipe: "We especially want to succeed in this game (against Reims) and show our true face.
"I hope the fans can make a distinction between what we do in the Champions League and results in the league.
"I do not mind that we are criticised for not having won in Bastia and Nice, but not in the Champions League."
Marseille go into the weekend in fifth place, seven points behind leaders and arch rivals Paris St Germain.
PSG were also in action in midweek with star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic again stealing the show in a 5-0 thrashing of Anderlecht.
The Sweden international scored four times at the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium to put the Parisians on the brink of qualification.
PSG return to action on Sunday at St Etienne and may take to the field having relinquished top spot to Monaco, who take on Lyon earlier in the day.
Facing Laurent Blanc's side is currently a daunting prospect and St Etienne defender Loic Perrin has warned the visitors' threat will not just come from Ibrahimovic and strike partner Edinson Cavani.
He told Radio Monte Carlo: "We fear everyone, Ibra, Cavani and all the others.
"They have shown that the danger can come from anywhere. This is what makes the strength of this team."
Sunday's other game sees Bordeaux host Montpellier.
Third-placed Lille could move within a point of PSG when they visit Nantes in fourth on Friday night while there is plenty of focus on the battle at the bottom on Saturday.
Valenciennes, who currently prop up the rest, will fancy their chances of recording a second Ligue 1 win of the season when they host Evian.
And Sochaux, under new boss Herve Renard, go to Lorient in a battle between teams currently occupying places in the relegation zone.

Schalke midfielder Boateng started his career with Hertha Berlin and Saturday's clash at the Olympiastadion represents his first return there since he joined Tottenham over six years ago.
His involvement was hanging in the balance all week due to a knee injury but, after he underwent treatment in Munich, he has been given the green light to face his hometown club for the first time in his career.
``I'm really looking forward to it,'' he told herthabsc.de. ``It's going to be something very special for me to play there, where everything started so long ago.''
Boateng follows his former club's fortunes and says he is delighted to see them challenging for a place in Europe next season.
``They have a strong team, particularly this year,'' he said. ``They don't have to hide from anybody.
``They belong in the Bundesliga for definite, also for their fans, and I hope their upward trend continues so that they remain in the top flight and I can play in the Olympiastadion frequently.
``They're currently in a qualifying berth for the Europa League and I think it's going to be a tough game for us, but we still want to win and bring the points back to Gelsenkirchen.''
Victory would move the Royal Blues above their hosts in the table, but Hertha coach Jos Luhukay would rather see his side four points clear of their rivals come Saturday evening.
``I've got a very good feeling,'' he said at a press conference. ``Everybody's trained really well, even if they were down a bit after the result in Munich.''
A crowd of 70,000 is expected in the Olympiastadion on Saturday, the biggest turnout of the season in the capital with the fans streaming back in their droves given the on-field success of a side who have won four and lost one at home so far.

Bayer Leverkusen travel to Eintracht Braunschweig on Saturday fresh from extending the contract of midfielder Lars Bender until 2019.
The Germany international signed a new deal with the Bundesliga club on Thursday to commit his future to the club until he is 30.
``Things have developed very positively here at Bayer Leverkusen and our team is strong with a lot of potential to get even better,'' Bender told his club's official website.
``I would like to be part of this story and make my contribution to us establishing ourselves permanently in the leading group.
``Bayer has become a big passion of mine and I really feel good at this club, and it's a great pleasure to play here.''
Leverkusen have so far shown this season that they have every chance of fulfilling Bender's desires, opening up a nine-point gap over fourth position while trailing the league leaders Bayern Munich by only a point after 10 games.
That record frightens Braunschweig coach Torsten Lieberknecht, who knows that his side will be up against it this weekend.
``Leverkusen are a brutally strong team,'' he said at a press conference. ``They are a team who, particularly on the counter-attack, are capable of capitalising on even the slightest of mistakes.
``We're going to have to be wide awake and our aim will be to keep a clean sheet for as long as possible, or if possible, for the entire game.''
While Leverkusen have lost only once this season, Braunschweig have only managed to win one game, further illustrating the difference between the two sides.
``Bayern Munich may be in a league of their own, but I think Leverkusen can challenge them for the title,'' Lieberknecht added.
``They are looking more solid than last season and aren't going to be dislodged from where they are now.''

Bayern Munich go in search of more records when they head to Hoffenheim on Saturday.

Bayern travel to Hoffenheim this weekend and should walk away from the Rhein-Neckar Arena with all three points to maintain their position at the top of the Bundesliga table. Pep Guardiola has the team playing some fantastic football, and the midweek break after last weekend's 3-2 victory over Hertha Berlin comes at a great time. Hoffenheim have been playing well in recent weeks. They've only lost one of their last four, and that was against Bayer Leverkusen and Stefan Kießling's "phantom tor". They'll battle hard, but Bayern are the better team.

Having steamrolled their way to success last season, little has changed since Pep Guardiola took charge of the Bavarians in the summer, but he can become the club's most successful coach in terms of making the best start in the league by avoiding defeat at Hoffenheim.
Extending his unbeaten start to life as Bayern coach to 11 games would break a record set by Branko Zebec in 1968.
Furthermore, Bayern can extend their unbeaten record to 36 games this weekend, matching Hamburg's record from 1982 to 1983.
"We're really looking forward to it," said Hoffenheim coach Markus Gisdol, who is keen to throw a spanner in the works at the Rhein-Neckar-Arena.
"This is a very special game for us, but not as much so for Bayern. We want to do everything we can to send out a signal."
His side have emitted enough signals this season with the most goals scored - three more than Bayern - and the most conceded also.
Bayern, on the other hand, have conceded the fewest, although they let in two in a single game for the first time this season last weekend against Hertha Berlin.
They have received another reward, or rather one of their players has, prior to Saturday's trip with David Alaba voted Austria's sportsman of the year on Thursday night.
The 21-year-old became the first footballer since Toni Polster in 1997 to win the prize, which he puts down to hard work and humility.
"I know that I'm living the dream of many young people, and my own dream, and I'm very grateful for this, and of course I need to pinch myself now and again to see if everything is really true," he told his club's website.
"I have good people around me who pinch me now and again too, and that helps me keep my feet on the ground."
A loan spell at Hoffenheim also helped launch his career, but he has warned his former club to expect a hungry and revitalised Bayern on Saturday.
"Having a week off has allowed us to really get our breath back," Alaba added. "This week was also important psychologically.

Mathieu Flamini remains sidelined with a groin problem, and an ankle injury rules out Serge Gnabry.Liverpool forward Philippe Coutinho returns to the squad after more than six weeks out with a shoulder injury sustained at Swansea on 16 September. Left-back Jose Enrique is still troubled by a knee injury and will not be included. The idea that Arsenal won't get results against their main rivals for the season's prizes has begun a thorough examination.Successive home defeats by Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea are being followed by this game, then Dortmund and Manchester United away - and on current form you can throw in Southampton at home before November is out. For the moment, Arsene Wenger remains relatively unconcerned, but three home losses in a row for the first time in 11 years could cause an extra worry line or two. In purely Premier League terms of course, The Gunners are in rude health - top of the table with seven wins and a draw since the opening day. If you can establish who the title challengers are after ten games then Arsenal are among them. To those who think the squad lacks depth, I would point to the fact that they've done this well this far without (for much of the run) Walcott, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Podolski, Cazorla and Arteta. If defence is the weak spot, Liverpool are currently THE team to highlight it. As the debate rages as to whether Rooney and van Persie or Suarez and Sturridge is the best strike partnership around, here are some numbers to help:
Rooney/van Persie: six games started together this season; eight goals
Suarez/Sturridge - five games started together; 10 goals
Crude and unscientific maybe, but I go with the stats on this and think the Liverpool pair is the most dangerous around right now.
They'll undoubtedly be on the minds of Messrs Mertesacker and Koscielny ahead of the game, especially as the Arsenal defence will be missing its invaluable shield of Mathieu Flamini. That could be key.
Both sides have suffered just one league defeat since March. By pure coincidence I was there to see both those games! I promise to leave my jinx jacket at home this time - and go for a draw. 

Head-to-head
Four of the last six league meetings in north London have ended in draws, with one win apiece. Arsenal scored twice inside three minutes through Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott to earn a draw from 2-0 down in the corresponding fixture last January.
Liverpool's only win in their last 12 league games against Arsenal came at the Emirates Stadium in August 2011. An Aaron Ramsey own goal and Luis Suarez strike gave Liverpool their only win at Arsenal in the last 13 years.
This is the 215th meeting between the clubs in all competitions. Liverpool lead by 82 wins to Arsenal's 76.

Arsenal
The Gunners have earned 22 points out of the last available 24.
They are the only team to score in each of their Premier League matches this season.
Arsene Wenger's side have taken the lead in eight of their nine league fixtures, the best record in the division.
November is Arsenal's least productive month in Premier League history - they average only 1.55 points per game.
Aaron Ramsey has five goals and three assists in his last six league appearances.

Liverpool
Liverpool's tally of 20 points after nine games represents their best Premier League start since 2008. They have double the number of points they had at this stage last season.
The Reds have conceded in each of their last six league games, having started the season with three successive clean sheets.
They have hit the woodwork a league-high eight times this season.
Daniel Sturridge has scored 14 goals in his last 14 league appearances.
Luis Suarez has scored six goals in four league games since returning from suspension.
Simon Mignolet will make his 100th Premier League appearance. He has kept 33 clean sheets.

West Ham's injury problems have worsened, with Matthew Taylor and Mladen Petric the latest casualties this week.The re-signed Carlton Cole is not yet ready for a Premier League start, according to manager Sam Allardyce.Aston Villa forward Gabriel Agbonlahor is unlikely to recover in time from the ankle injury he suffered during last weekend's defeat by Everton. Left-backs Antonio Luna (hamstring) and Joe Bennett (back) are both sidelined.
What a curious start to the season it has been for these two sides.
Both have recorded eye-catching wins - West Ham at Spurs, Villa against Arsenal and Manchester City - but neither can find any consistency, particularly at home.
From that point of view, Aston Villa may feel the more comfortable of the two teams going into this fixture. Paul Lambert has won more away games with Villa than at home, with their counter-attacking style better suited on the road.
Villa will maintain they have had a tough run of fixtures - having faced six of last season's top seven teams in their first nine games - but you feel that, until their young side has played together for longer, they will continue to be looking over their shoulder.
The same might be said for West Ham, who will be hard pressed to improve on last season's tenth-place finish.
The story of their current campaign revolves around the absence of forward Andy Carroll. The resulting lack of a focal point has really hindered the Hammers. Carlton Cole has been re-signed but is still building up his fitness, and Ricardo Vaz Te is now out for a while.
Sam Allardyce's side rely a lot on the midfield axis of Mark Noble and Kevin Nolan, and we have yet to see the best of the wingers brought in by Allardyce, Matt Jarvis and ex-Villa man Stewart Downing.
Villa's cause is helped by the fact they have just got their main striker - Christian Benteke - back from injury, although Gabby Agbonlahor is likely to miss out.
This is a fixture that's produced few goals in recent times and I'm not expecting this occasion to be any different. One thing's for sure, the losers will be looking downwards.

Head-to-head
Eight of the 17 Premier League meetings at Upton Park have ended in draws.
West Ham beat Villa for only the third time in their last 12 attempts at home on the opening day of last season. Kevin Nolan scored the only goal.

West Ham
The Hammers have lost their last three home matches. They have not suffered four consecutive home defeats since the 2005-06 season.
West Ham have never lost four of their first five top-flight home matches.
They have failed to score in five of their nine fixtures, the joint-worst record in the division.
However, only three clubs (Southampton, Tottenham and Chelsea) have conceded fewer goals than West Ham's tally of eight.
A third of their nine league games have ended 0-0 this season.
Stewart Downing and Carlton Cole have both previously played for Aston Villa.

Aston Villa
Villa have conceded the opening goal in seven of their Premier League fixtures this season, more than any other side.
They have only taken one point from the last three matches and failed to score in that time. Villa last went four successive league games without a goal between December 2009 and January 2010.
Paul Lambert has won more away league games (seven) as manager of Aston Villa than he has at Villa Park (six).
Lambert's side have won five, drawn two and lost just two of their last nine league away games.
Christian Benteke has missed two penalties this season. There have only been six penalties missed in total in the top flight this term.

West Brom have fitness doubts over midfielders Morgan Amalfitano and Scott Sinclair.Amalfitano was substituted with a knee injury last weekend, while Sinclair has missed the last three matches because of a hamstring complaint. Crystal Palace defender Jonny Parr could make his first appearance since injuring ankle ligaments in April. Damien Delaney is having to manage an ongoing ankle problem but is expected to be available.
I remember commentating on both legs of Crystal Palace's Championship play-off semi-final last May. Ian Holloway's team had somewhat stumbled over the line at the end of the regular league season, winning just one of their last 10 Championship games.
The squad was clearly not the finished article, despite having Wilfried Zaha and Glenn Murray in the team - Zaha was widely regarded the best player in the Championship last year, while Murray had bagged 31 goals over the course of the campaign.
Fast forward to the start of this season; Zaha had joined Manchester United, Murray was out with a long-term knee injury and the club was adopting a scattergun approach in the transfer market. Quantity rather than quality arrived at Selhurst Park. It is against this backdrop that Holloway's tenure failed to last any longer than eight games in the top flight.
There may be 29 league fixtures left and a total of 87 points to play for, but it is already evident that whoever becomes the new manager is going to need a miraculous turnaround to avoid the drop. Attracting quality players to an already bloated squad in January will be almost impossible.
So is this a good or a bad time to play West Brom? Albion's 4-1 defeat by Liverpool last time out was their heaviest of the season so far. However, it was also their only league defeat in the past two months.
Head coach Steve Clarke has engineered an away win at Old Trafford and earned creditable draws against sides such as Everton and Arsenal in the league.
At the time of writing, Keith Millen looks likely to be still in caretaker charge of the visitors for this one. He admits he is not the man to take the club forward.
Should Palace slump to another defeat at The Hawthorns, whoever does take this job might already be mentally preparing for Championship football next season.

Head-to-head
Three of the last four league meetings have ended as 1-1 draws. Crystal Palace are unbeaten in five games against West Brom.
Palace's only top-flight win in seven attempts at The Hawthorns was by 4-0 in February 1973.

West Bromwich Albion
West Brom lost for the first time in six matches at Anfield last weekend (W2, D3, L1).
However, they are four points and four places worse off than at the same stage last season.
The Baggies have only won one of their last eight league games at The Hawthorns (W1, D3, L4).
Nicolas Anelka has mustered just two shots on target in seven league appearances for Albion.

Crystal Palace
Palace have lost six consecutive league matches for the first time since February and March 2001, when they were in the second tier.
It's their worst top-flight run since a club record eight-match losing streak between January and March 1998.
They are yet to earn an away point this season and are winless in their last nine league trips dating back to March (D2, L7).
The Eagles have conceded a league-high four penalties this season.
Two thirds of Crystal Palace's six goals this season have come from set-pieces. Their tally of two goals from open play is the lowest in the division.
Marouane Chamakh has appeared in all nine of Palace's league games this season but has had only two shots on target. He has scored once in his last 20 Premier League
