Twente vs Telstar team news and expert analysis
The Enschede club recorded the fourth-best result in 2025/2026. This allowed them to return to European competition. They were immediately eliminated from the Europa League by Ferencváros.

In the Eredivisie, meanwhile, they beat Zwolle and thrashed Cambuur after losing to Heerenveen. In the latest round, they drew 2-2 away to Groningen.
The Velsen club had not played in the top flight for almost half a century. However, after returning in 2025, they managed to collect 37 points and finish 14th on goal difference.
