Twente vs PSV Predictions

PSV can entertain again

PSV’s 6-1 thrashing of Sparta Rotterdam last weekend was a reminder of their attacking prowess, but both teams have scored in their last six competitive matches and that looks the best bet when they visit Twente at De Grolsch Veste on Sunday.

PSV were the Eredivisie champions last season, finishing with 25 wins and just five losses, while Twente finished sixth having won 15 games, drawing nine and losing ten.

The Eindhoven outfit won their last seven matches of the previous campaign to pip Ajax to the title, and they have beaten Twente in seven of the last nine meetings between the teams.

Both teams have scored in six of PSV’s last eight Eredivisie games and in six of the last eight meetings between these sides. BTTS had come in by half-time when they last clashed in the league in April – a game which PSV won 3-1.

PSV will be expecting to find the net, having scored three goals or more in eight consecutive Eredivisie games. They have also scored in 18 of their last 19 league matches.

Both teams have been struggling to keep clean sheets recently. Twente have failed to keep a clean sheet in eight of their last ten Eredivisie games, while PSV are on a run of six games without recording a shutout.

Twente failed to find the net in a 1-0 opening loss at PEC Zwolle last weekend, but they’ll be eager to make up for that loss on their home patch.

The 1-1 draw looks decent correct-score bet. PSV’s attacking quality is clear, but 23 of their 34 league games last season saw both teams score and six of Twente’s last eight Eredivisie games have had fewer than three goals.
