Recent matches
FC Twente enter this Wednesday night's Eredivisie 2026/2027 clash with Telstar having won two and lost three of their last five matches, a sequence that includes a 0-1 home loss to FK Qarabag and a 1-4 away win after extra-time against the same side in UEFA Conference League qualifying, and a 1-4 road win over Cambuur Leeuwarden in the Eredivisie 2026/2027.
Players & tactics
John van den Brom has had a decent time at the helm since his appointment on 15 September 2025, where he has instilled a 4-2-3-1 base upon which the home side have played with control and verticality, while Telstar have a different setup altogether.
- Daan Rots is the leading scorer in the Eredivisie 2026/2027 for the Tukkers with 1 goal in 2 games, while Marko Pjaca has been a menace throughout with four goals in his last five games, helping Twente to score 11 times in that run.
Telstar will make it tight
Henk Brugge has been in charge since 1 July 2026 and the De Witte Leeuwen have been set up in a compact 3-4-3/3-5-2 shape. Abdelnor Soualhia has been Telstar's main threat in the Eredivisie 2026/2027 with 1 goal and 1 assist in 3 games, but Soufiane Hetli has also been in the goals with 3 goals in 5 as his side have scored 9 times.
Telstar's form has been mixed however with two wins and three defeats across their last 5, and they come into this Wednesday's clash on the back of two successive defeats, against Sparta Rotterdam (1-3) and Ajax (0-4) respectively.
It’s the home team’s to win
Twente's early-season form has left them 9th in the Eredivisie 2026/2027 with 6 points from 3 games and that's a solid enough platform from which to push further up the table, while Telstar have 3 points from 3 matches, leaving the promoted side still feeling their way in the top flight. The most recent H2H in the Eredivisie 2025/2026 ended 1-1, but Telstar are winless from their last 2 trips to De Grolsch Veste. The odds here suggest the Tukkers are the clear favourites at 1.29, while the visitors are 8.9 and the draw is 5.5.
The value lies with a home victory, but the game could get away from Twente if they're not careful and the visitors are capable of pinching a goal in the counter or from a set play. With that in mind, over 2.5 goals at 1.38 is a great starting point for this game, while both teams to score at 1.62 also has a chance.
