Go Ahead Eagles vs Twente Predictions

Go Ahead Eagles landed a terrific 0-1 success over Twente when the teams met at De Grolsch Veste back in November and they will be gunning to complete an unlikely league double against the Eerste Divisie leaders this Sunday. Eagles have a fantastic record in Deventer this term and are sure to provide Twente with a real test, but it’s the visitors who are favourites to come out on top after winning 12 of their last 13 matches.

Twente have been unstoppable since the beginning of December and they romped their way to another easy success last Friday against Volendam in Enschede.

Five different scorers hit the target as Mario Pusic’s side dispatched Palingboeren 5-0 at De Grolsch Veste and the result maintained Twente’s huge 11 point advantage at the top of the table.

The title and an immediate return to Eredivisie is all but secured with just nine games of the campaign remaining and recent performances suggest that there is little chance of Twente letting up or resting on their laurels.

Twente’s away form has been most crucial in their charge to the summit of the second tier, and their 0-2 victory at Oss a fortnight ago made it 11 wins, three draws and just one defeat in 15 road trips for the former Dutch champions.

Twente are head and shoulders above any other side on their travels and they proved that to no greater effect on match day 24 as they smashed 2nd placed Sparta 0-3 in Rotterdam to end their unbeaten home record and effectively put the title race to bed.

So Go Ahead clearly face their most difficult assignment of the season at De Adelaarshorst on Sunday and they will have to step up markedly on last week’s performance if they are to obtain any kind of result.

Eagles were surprisingly held to a 1-1 draw by basement dwellers Helmond Sport at Lavans Stadion – although it’s not the first time that John Stegeman’s charges have flopped against lowly opposition on the road this term.

Their away form has been patchy overall with five defeats from 15 and that is ultimately why they quickly dropped off the hot pace set by Twente at the start of 2019.

Go Ahead are guaranteed a Play-off place thanks to their consistency at home and they go into this weekend’s match having won nine, drawn three and lost two from 14 outings in front of their own supporters.

The bookies clearly give the hosts a chance here and only have them as marginal outsiders for the contest, but we think Twente are a class apart from the rest in Eerste Divisie and they can bag a 12th away victory for the season here.

The visitors won’t want to take their foot off the gas until their promotion is mathematically sealed and they should get plenty of joy against an Eagles defence that conceded six at Sparta just a couple of weeks ago.

That fixture indicated how frail they can be at the back which we think Twente can readily exploit. So at a generous price, we’re tipping up the leaders for the win alongside a 1-3 correct score in their favour.
