FC Twente vs PSV Eindhoven Best odds and tips

PSV Eindhoven’s superior form and league position makes them the bookies’ favourites for Thursday’s Eredivisie clash with FC Twente, but there is enough value in the home side’s home record to suggest the visitors won’t have things all their own way. Peter Bosz has been in charge of PSV Eindhoven since July 2023 and has been widely praised for the way he has turned the Eindhoven club into a free-flowing attacking side. PSV play a high-tempo game, with lots of possession and relentless pressing that has produced some stunning results this season. Luuk de Jong leads the line with 12 Eredivisie goals in 26 appearances, but his hold-up play is just as important to PSV’s success. Guus Til makes late runs from midfield to score goals and press the opposition’s defence, while Johan Bakayoko is a constant threat from the wing where his pace and skill makes him a creator as well as a finisher.

FC Twente have a very different approach to the game and prefer to keep things compact and disciplined, as boss Joseph Oosting has instilled in them this season. They are a side that can be as ruthless as PSV when they get on the front foot, but they are more likely to try to catch the opposition on the counter-attack. Sem Steijn is their main threat, having scored 23 Eredivisie goals in 28 appearances this term, while Daan Rots is a key outlet for the ball and his pace can be devastating on the counter. Robin Pröpper is the anchor of the defence, a leader on the pitch with the tactical nous to slow PSV’s attacks down. PSV Eindhoven are the bookies’ favourites at 1.81 because of their superior form and the overwhelming head-to-head record. The visitors ran riot to beat FC Twente 6-1 at home four months ago and have won all three of the head-to-head meetings.

PSV Eindhoven have 64 points from 29 games in second place in Eredivisie 2024/2025, while Twente are in fifth with 48 points after the same number of rounds. The visitors have won two and drawn one of their last three away games, so there’s no reason to think they won’t arrive in Enschede in confident mood. But Twente have won nine of their 14 home games this season and could keep this close if PSV don’t get the best of the midfield battle. Twente have won one, drawn two and lost two of their last five Eredivisie games, with their last two finishing 1-1. An away win for PSV Eindhoven is the clear play here, but Twente’s home record and ability to counter-attack should keep this close enough to cover the handicap. Over 2.5 goals is also a compelling alternative to the win bet because of the attacking nature of both sides.
