It's the very first fixture of the new campaign for NEC and FC Twente. The page is empty, the opportunities infinite.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Europa Conference League. That game was also an away game, at Cukaricki. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

FC Twente form and stats

Let's have a look at how FC Twente performed last season in the Eredivisie: They landed a 4th position in the league table after playing out 20 victories, 8 draws and 6 defeats. In total they scored 55 and conceded 37 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 10 - drew 3 and lost 4 with 27/24 goals scored/conceded.

That win was so important for this team, after a terrible period of eleven league rounds in a row not winning.

A new game in only four days for Twente, the Europa Conference League home match versus Cukaricki. Busy days.

It's a day of discovery for FC Twente as they finally learn what impact all the hours of pre-season training, along with the changes in personnel, have had on their performance in an official game. It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which FC Twente have played three with the results W3-D0-L0 (win-draw-lost). In these games FC Twente has scored 8 goals and conceded 2 times.

Head 2 Head
