Twente vs Telstar Prediction – Eredivisie Round 12 Preview (November 7, 2025)
Match Overview
In the 12th round of the Dutch Eredivisie, FC Twente will host Telstar in Enschede. Facing one of the league’s weakest sides, the home team will be determined to claim three points and get back on track after a run of mixed results.
Team Form and Analysis
FC Twente
Last season, Twente secured a top-six finish and reached the playoff final for a European competition spot, narrowly losing 2–3 to AZ Alkmaar. This year, their performances have been somewhat inconsistent, with a balanced record of wins and losses.
Their latest fixture, a 1–1 draw against Groningen, highlighted both their attacking potential and defensive fragility. Twente’s attack, led by veteran Ricky van Wolfswinkel, averages 1.82 goals per game, but their defense concedes 1.64 on average.
Despite not winning in three consecutive matches, Twente remains strong at home, where their fluid attacking play and pressing often overwhelm visiting sides.
Recent Form (all competitions): D–L–L–D–W
Home record: Solid, with goals in every home match this season.
Telstar
Telstar’s story is one of overachievement and resilience. After decades in lower divisions, they earned promotion through last season’s Eerste Divisie playoffs — a huge success given their modest resources.
However, life in the Eredivisie has been difficult. Telstar sit near the bottom of the table, having lost five of their last seven matches. Still, they showed spirit in a 2–2 draw with Excelsior last weekend, proving they can trouble defenses when given space.
They average 1.27 goals per game, but their defense leaks heavily, conceding 1.91 per match, the second-worst rate in the league.
Recent Form: D–L–L–L–W
Away record: Poor, with goals conceded in every away fixture.
