Cambuur have been awful so far
FC Twente are the heavy favourites at 1.35 for Sunday's away Eredivisie 2026/2027 fixture against Cambuur Leeuwarden, who are 7.5 to win and the draw is 5.1.
John van den Brom's Tukkers aren't on a great streak themselves, but their current form is much more consistent than Cambuur's, which makes them worthy favourites. Twente have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 2 of their last 5 across all competitions, while Cambuur have lost 5 in a row.
Playing styles
There is a big contrast in style between these two teams. Johan Plat's Cambuur are an attack-minded, high-tempo unit.
The Yellow-Blues can play a ball on the ground, but they are just as comfortable throwing the ball forward and making things happen in the wide areas.
Key players
- Nicky Souren has added a bit of creativity in the number 10 position, providing 1 assist in 3 Eredivisie 2026/2027 appearances to date, while Rafik El Arguioui, who has 3 goals in 3 games, is Cambuur's biggest threat to the goal.
- Daan Rots leads Twente's scoring in the Eredivisie 2026/2027 with 1 goal in 2 games, but Ramiz Zerrouki is close behind with 1 assist in 2 matches.
- Sondre Oerjasaeter, who has provided 4 assists in Twente's last 5 matches, has been the main hub in the build-up.
Twente approach
But Twente are a completely different animal. Van den Brom sets his Tukkers up as an organization-first side that can play in multiple shapes and are just as capable of controlled direct play as they are at pressing in waves when necessary.
Take the value on Twente
The match odds don't make much sense to me because Cambuur have been truly awful so far. They are in a brutal rut and have lost both of their Eredivisie 2026/2027 home games, conceding 9 goals and averaging 4.50 goals-against.
Twente are in a much better position in the league, haven't won away in their 1 Eredivisie 2026/2027 game and have only conceded 1 goal on the road. That balance and edge to their game is going to be key on Sunday.
With Cambuur playing with plenty of aggression and Twente's structure, I think the visitors will have enough to punish the hosts at both ends of the pitch. The Tukkers could win by a few goals, but Cambuur's forward-thinking approach means we can expect goals at both ends so Over 2.5 goals & Both Teams to Score – Yes at 1.48 and 1.7 respectively, seems a safer wager.
