Energie, Energie, Energie!
Tactical approach
FC Utrecht have brought the energy to Eredivisie 2026/2027 football since the arrival of Anthony Correia as head coach, with De Domstedelingen pressing with a purpose and scoring plenty of goals. A 3-4-3 formation has given Utrecht a solid base to play from, while their wingers have been rotating in some eye-catching fashion to create plenty of space to attack.
Recent results
Utrecht have had some good results recently, beating Excelsior 2-1 and Willem II 3-1, while they were steamrolled by Feyenoord 5-0 in Rotterdam. This is a tricky game to call, but Utrecht can certainly score and cause problems at De Grolsch Veste on Sunday.
Twente to see off the visitors
Odds and standings
FC Twente are the clear favourites here at 1.3, with Utrecht 7.5 and the draw 5.9. De Tukkers are having another fine season with 17 points from eight games putting them fourth in the Eredivisie 2026/2027, while Utrecht are 13th with eight points from as many games.
Tactical setup
John van den Brom has Twente playing some good football, with a 4-2-3-1 base and a possession-first mentality to their play. They can play a good mid-block but have the capacity to spring into a high press, making them a difficult team to play through at times.
Recent form
Twente's recent results include ADO Den Haag 2-0, PSV Eindhoven 3-2 and Fortuna Sittard 1-1, so they can bite at both ends of the field. Utrecht will know how to hit Twente where it hurts after beating them 2-0 away in Eredivisie 2025/2026, a game that took place seven months ago.
Over 2.5 goals is the play
Over 2.5 goals at 1.3 looks the best way to go here, rather than a Twente win at 1.3, as this should be an entertaining game with the possession versus press contest playing out nicely.
Twente are clear favourites at 1.3 at home, but Utrecht are a good enough side to get on the scoresheet, so that's our play at De Grolsch Veste on Sunday. Twente should have enough to edge out the win, but Utrecht will make them work for it.
- Wout Weghorst is the main man for Twente, who has scored four goals in seven Eredivisie games this term, while Artem Stepanov is Utrecht's leading marksman with five goals in six Eredivisie games.
- Stepanov has scored three of Utrecht's last six goals in the last five-match spell, while Weghorst has notched three of Twente's last nine league goals in the same number of matches, so both can score here.
