FC Twente form and stats

Perfect Eredivisie season at home so far for FC Twente 2 wins from 2 appearances.

A nice win for Twente last time playing, versus FC Groningen. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-1 with Alexander Jeremejeff, Václav Černý and Danilo scoring for the victors. Before that, Twente played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Feyenoord.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Twente have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won three times, drawn two and lost one.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the FC Twente at home in the league. 5 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

FC Emmen form and stats

FC Emmen have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Eredivisie were 0 victories, 3 draws and 10 defeats from 13 fixtures.

Emmen are travelling again after losing away to PSV in their previous match (1-2). A loss against VVV-Venlo was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Late heartbreak for Emmen in the PSV match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.

We have checked recent matches where Emmen have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those ten games were two victories, two draws and six defeats.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, FC Emmen has managed 1 goal and let in 2 from 1 match.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last seven meetings between these two teams are: four wins for FC Twente, one draw and two wins for FC Emmen. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: three games.
