FC Twente are the favorite
FC Twente are 1.2 favourites to see off FC Thun at De Grolsch Veste on Thursday, which is understandable, though the Swiss side are in the 9.0 price range for a victory. De Tukkers will be looking to continue their run of three straight wins across all competitions, while the visitors have four wins, two draws and four defeats across their last 10, a mixed bag of results.
The Dutch side are a much more cohesive unit than their opponents, having won six, drawn two and lost just two of their last 10 in all competitions, and their home form at De Grolsch Veste has been excellent to date, with four wins and just one defeat. They beat ADO Den Haag (2-0) and PSV Eindhoven (3-2) in their most recent two home games, conceding just four goals across their five home fixtures.
Thun boss Gian-Luca Privitelli has his team pressing with some bite of late, and his side will be on the front foot here in their 4-4-2 formation. But can they match Twente's intensity in what is a tough trip to the Netherlands? This clash is possession vs press, with Twente looking to control and play through the press, while Thun will try to force turnovers and hit the Dutch club on the counter-attack.
Twente should be edging it
Match outlook
The odds are clearly against anything other than Twente edging this and the bookies are confident that they will control this league-stage clash at 6.6. However, this looks a big mismatch on paper, and if Thun can get on the ball in the offensive third, they will make things lively.
Betting and key players
We think De Tukkers should have too much for the Swiss visitors, especially if they play through the first line and find their forward in space. Twente are a well-organised 4-2-3-1 unit, they build from the back, play patiently in possession and will attack once they break the first line.
- Wout Weghorst gives Twente their killer instinct, he's scored four of Twente's 12 goals in their last five in all competitions and he can punish Thun in the box.
- However, Thun are good for a goal with 14 in their five away games and they could nick one on the break, so both teams to score is our main bet.
- Over 2.5 goals is a generous 1.35, and that's a bet to take if Thun are flying forward and playing on the attack as they usually do.
