FC Twente form and stats
3 victories, 4 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what FC Twente have to build on here at De Grolsch Veste in the Eredivisie. Twente are slowly digging their own grave here at De Grolsch Veste with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in eight attempts. The last victory here came in the PEC Zwolle match.
Twente manager R. Jans and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Heracles (placed 11th) in the Eredivisie. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Feyenoord.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier FC Twente matches with similar probabilities have ended with zero wins, zero draws and two defeats (from two games).
The Twente fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 12 matches. 17 goals have been conceded.
Willem II form and stats
Willem II have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Eredivisie, after 1-3-8 (12 played).
Two travels in a row for Willem, whose manager Ž. Petrović could celebrate last time after the Eredivisie win against Sparta Rotterdam. A draw for Willem II before that, at their own venue hosting ADO Den Haag (1-1).
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Willem when being an outsider away as they are today, we find three matches with the visitors losing one time, drawing zero and winning two games.
The visitors have scored 11 goals from 12 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Willem manager Ž. Petrović has some worries about the defense as 26 goals have been conceded in these travels.
