The bookies make the hosts favourites to win this match at 2.46, but the visitors are not far behind at 2.82 with the draw at 3.80. Ron Jans has done a fine job at FC Utrecht since taking over in September 2023, as the club have not lost any of their 15 away Eredivisie matches this season, winning nine and drawing six. Jans has built his side around a strong defensive unit and his team come into this clash in red-hot form, having not lost any of their last five Eredivisie matches (W4, D1). They have won their last two games, starting with a 4-0 hammering of Ajax at home, before they thrashed RKC Waalwijk 4-0 away.

Miguel Rodriguez has been in excellent form of late for FC Utrecht, having scored seven goals in 20 Eredivisie appearances this season. He has bagged five in his last five and has been their go-to man in recent weeks. Joseph Oosting has had a mixed bag of results since taking over as head coach of FC Twente in July 2023, but he will be pleased with his side’s overall home record this season. The Tukkers have won nine, drawn four and lost only two of their 15 home Eredivisie matches, but have failed to win their last two. FC Twente have won one, drawn two and lost two of their last five Eredivisie matches, but they did manage to bounce back from a 1-3 home defeat to PSV Eindhoven by winning 2-0 at Sparta Rotterdam last time out.

FC Twente have a strong home record, but FC Utrecht are unbeaten on the road in the Eredivisie this season and they look more likely to take something from this game. The hosts average 1.0 goals per game against Utrecht, but they have conceded 0.5 goals per game on average in this fixture. Both sides have potent attacks and have been involved in high-scoring games recently, so ‘over 2.5 goals’ looks good here. But with no information on the likely tactical setups, the fact that Utrecht are unbeaten away and in better form than Twente suggests the visitors can edge a close game.
