Twente vs Groningen Predictions

• Twente beat Groningen in two of the clubs’ last three meetings.
• Twente kept clean sheets in four of their last five Eredivisie home matches.
• Groningen won just three of their last 13 Eredivisie away assignments.

Twente looking to build on unbeaten start

Twente endured a dismal 2019/20 campaign where they narrowly avoided the drop, though the early signs suggest that The Tukkers could enjoy a more productive season in 2020/21 under new coach Ron Jans.

Following an impressive 2-0 victory at home to Fortuna Sittard in their opening fixture, Twente battled their way to a surprise point at Feyenoord in a 1-1 draw, and after promising early showings, Jans’ charges should be in confident spirits this week.

Groningen meanwhile, started their season with a 3-1 defeat at home to PSV, and while they did well to bounce back with a 1-0 triumph at ADO in their second outing, they needed a Shaquille Pinas own goal to steal the points.

A more in form Twente – who beat Groningen in two of the club’s last three encounters – should have enough momentum to continue their early good form at their visitor’s expense on Friday, and The Tukkers look excellent value to win at the prices quoted, though our correct score prediction of 1-0 anticipated a tight affair.

Four of the sides’ last five meetings saw two or fewer goals scored, though a single effort should allow Twente, who kept clean sheets in 80% of their last five home Eredivisie assignments, to win.
