Twente are the form favourites with two wins, one draw, and three defeats from their last six matches but neither team can truly claim to be’in-form’ at this moment in time.

The hosts have a good recent record against their guests, winning four of the duos’ last seven encounters, and both teams have scored in five of those matches. Both teams have also scored in each of Vitesse’s last three outings as well as in three of Twente’s last six games, so you can start to see just why we have backed goals in this game for both clubs.

The hosts average 1.75 points per home game while their guests average just 0.75 points per away game, which suggests that the most likely result this weekend is a win for Vitesse.
