Welcome to the show! Today's starring heroes are FC Twente and Willem II, 3 points is the objective and 1 1/2 hours the length.
- FC Twente have not yet lost a game at home.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
FC Twente form and stats
Seven points from three Eredivisie home games is a great start for FC Twente, who are hoping to build on that form here at De Grolsch Veste. Two home wins in a row for FC Twente bring valid hopes of a third.
An away draw last time out for Twente, facing FC Groningen in a game that ended 1-1. Manfred Ugalde was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against FC Groningen after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today? Robin Pröpper, defender, was given a rating of 7.42/10 in that game, top of the team. Pröpper won 12 of 15 duels.
In the game before, an away victory match versus SC Heerenveen with a 3-2 scoreline.The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Twente matches with similar probabilities have ended with zero wins, zero draws and two defeats (from two games).
A decent goal production from Twente in their home games so far, with 5 goals from 3 league matches. From these home matches, Twente have conceded only 2 goals.
Willem II form and stats
2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. That’s the product of Willem II playing as the away team in the Eredivisie this season.
Willem II lost away at Heracles (2-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Willem were so close to getting something from the game against Heracles, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal three minutes into overtime. Midfield player Dries Saddiki was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.84/10. Saddiki hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against PSV.Looking at the earlier recent performances of Willem when being an outsider away as they are today, we find four matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing zero and winning two games.
The travelling fans enjoy Willem's attacking play in away games, having scored 7 goals in 4 league matches away. 4 goals have been conceded by Willem in these games.
