Prediction published on 09/11/2023, 14:00  by Sridhar in Eredivisie Predictions

Twente will look to continue their impressive seasonal form when they take on lower mid-table side NEC Nijmegen. This Eredivisie match 12 of the campaign will be played at De Grolsch Veste on Saturday with the hosts 4th in the table with 26 points and the visitors 12th with ten points. Twente are tied on points with Feyenoord and AZ Alkmaar, and the trio is seven points behind runaway leaders PSV Eindhoven. With a firm eight-point lead over the nearest challenger to top-four, Twente are covered in the race for top-four even with a defeat in this match. Twente come in with strong form nevertheless, winning four of their last six league matches, drawing the other two. The record only gets better at home where they have won all five league matches in this season.

NEC have a game in hand with most the clubs around them but with only a two-point lead over the bottom-three teams, their position looks delicate. They have drawn 3-3 against Volendam last time out, making it three league draws in a row. Going a bit back in time, they have won just once across their last seven league games, drawing four and losing two. Regardless of their position in the table, they have been impressive in finding the net, with 17 goals to their name. They would need these goals improve their away form as NEC are yet to win a league game on the road this season. The visitors have drawn and lost two away matches each, in this campaign.
