Emmen vs Twente Predictions

• Both teams scored in 5 of their last 7 meetings between these two clubs.
• Emmen have only failed to score in 2 of their last 6 matches (including friendlies).
• Twente have only failed to score in 2 of their last 6 matches (including friendlies).
• Emmen have only lost 2 home games this season and Twente have drawn 6 times in the league.

Emmen don’t lose many games in their own backyard

Emmen went down 3-0 away at Feyenoord last weekend while Twente secured all 3pts at home to Sparta courtesy of a 2-0 final scoreline, meaning that the Tuesday’s guests leapfrogged Emmen and now sit 2pts clear of them in the Eredivisie table. Twente have already beaten Emmen this season, back in October when the pair met for their reverse league fixture, and five of the duos’ last seven encounters have seen both teams score.

Emmen head into Tueday’s clash as the form favourites with three wins, one draw, and two defeats from their last six competitive and non-competitive matches, but Twente are unbeaten in their last five outings and have secured two wins, three draws, and suffered just one defeat from their last six matches. Both teams have looked good going forward of late and haven’t been conceding too many goals, with Emmen only failing to score in two of their last six matches and keeping two clean sheets during that period while Twente have also only failed to score in two of their last six outings and have kept three clean sheets.

Twente have avoided defeat in half of their away games this season and have already drawn six times in the Eredivisie while Emmen have only lost twice in their own backyard, so you can start to see why we have backed a 1-1 draw this Tuesday. Emmen average 2.00 points per home game while Twente average 0.90 points per away game, with the hosts scoring an average of 1.70 goals per home game and conceding 1.00 goals and the visitors scoring an average of 1.00 goals per away game and conceding 1.90 goals.

Twente are yet to lose since returning from the winter break

Both teams have scored in 50% of Emmen’s home games as well as in 60% of Twente’s away games and the scoring stats for both teams suggest that they will both score at least once on Tuesday. Emmen have only failed to score in 10% of their home matches and Twente have only kept clean sheets in 20% of their away games, making it highly unlikely we will see the visitors deny the home side at least 1-goal this Tuesday.

30% of Emmen’s home games have produced exactly 2-goals, as have 10% of Twente’s away games, and we have backed that same number of goals to be produced on Sunday with our prediction of a 1-1 draw. Emmen have scored 77% of their goals at home but Twente have netted 31% of their goals after the 75th minutes, suggesting the visitors will carry a goal threat late in the game.

We’re confident that both teams will score on Tuesday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1 between the pair. Emmen have been at their best at home but Twente are yet to lose in 2020, with three of their five matches (including friendlies) ending in draws. Just 2pts separate the two clubs in the table and it’s Twente that are perched just above Sunday’s hosts, and we can see the two clubs cancelling one another out this Tuesday.
