Our Prediction for Twente vs AZ Alkmaar
The club from Enschede collected 69 points last season. This was enough to finish third in the final Eredivisie table. Interestingly, they edged out their current rival—AZ finished with 65 points in fourth place.
As a result, Oosting and his team went to the Champions League qualification but immediately lost to their first opponent, Red Bull (1-2 in Salzburg, 3-3 at home). In the Europa League, they reached the playoffs but were knocked out by Bodo/Glimt in February (2-1 and 2-5 in Norway). On the domestic front, their form dipped, going five consecutive matches without a win in March and April. Only against Sparta did they secure a 2-0 victory. They repeated that score against Utrecht. Martens' side crashed out of the Europa League in March, losing to Tottenham, and then lost on penalties in the KNVB Cup final to Go Ahead Eagles in April. In the Eredivisie, they went seven rounds without a win, only to take revenge on Go Ahead Eagles with a convincing 3-0 win—though that did little to help. They then replicated the scoreline against Groningen.
Van Wolfswinkel and his teammates average 1.88 goals per match, conceding noticeably less—1.38. The visitors' ratio is somewhat less spectacular but also convincing—1.65 scored per match to 1.10 conceded.
