Accordingly, the roles in this duel are clear and the bookmakers clearly favor a forecast for the home side between Twente and Sparta Rotterdam. A maximum of 1.60 is offered for the home win, which is absolutely understandable, especially given the enormous home strength of Ron Jans' team.

Twente: Stats & current form

 

Between 2007 and 2014, the team from Enschede experienced the heyday of its existence, including the only championship title in the 2009/10 season. In 2017/18 the club then experienced the darkest phase and had to bake smaller rolls due to major financial problems. With only five wins, relegation was certain, but the return to the top division could be achieved immediately. Since then, development has been absolutely positive and this season the team can dream of returning to Europe.

A large part of this is played by players who were under contract in Germany in the past, but have by no means left a lasting mark there. The list of players with a German past is enormous. Goalkeeper Lars Unnerstall is one of the best in his field this season. Joshua Brenet (new winter signing from Hoffenheim), Michel Vlap (formerly Arminia Bielefeld), Virgil Misidjan (1. FC Nürnberg) and Dimitrios Limnios (1. FC Köln) are top performers in Enschede.

 Twente currently have 58 points after 29 matchdays, the last time the club had a better tally of points (63 points) was in 2010/11 (runners-up in the championship). This means a whopping plus of 21 points compared to last season, so the dream of Europe is absolutely real and even the direct ticket is still within the realm of possibility. They are three points behind third place, and Twente should be fourth in the national play-offs.

A strong finish is all the more important and accordingly only a complete success counts on Friday evening. The prospects for this are excellent, because the Jans-Elf is outstanding at home in De Grolsch Veste Stadion this season. Only one home game (against NEC Nijmegen) was lost, compared to eight wins and five draws. And the current form also speaks for the home side, because Twente are now seven games without defeat (five wins, two draws). At the start of the 30th matchday, there is much to be said for Twente and Sparta Rotterdam in favor of the home side winning the favourites.

Sparta Rotterdam : Stats & Current Form

 

In recent years, Sparta Rotterdam has moved in step with Twente Enschede. In 2017/18 there was a joint relegation before the direct return was also achieved in the following season. The two teams have also been at a similar level in the last two Eredivisie years. This changed abruptly in 2021/22 and Sparta Rotterdam had to tremble for staying in the league at the end of the season.

Just a meager five wins of the season are in the current season to book. The points were shared far too often (draw king with ten draws). The decisive factor for this is clearly the offensive department, because the team around the German Lennart Thy has only scored 22 goals in 29 league games this season. It takes just three goals at Sparta Rotterdam to be number one in the internal scorer list. 13 goals were scored at home, in 14 away games there were only nine direct hits to celebrate. These figures support the forecast between Twente and Sparta that both teams will not score at least once.
