FC Twente
NetherlandsCurrent form
Twente is adding another tournament, and it is not yet clear how the team will approach it, because this season the visitors have shown less successful results than last season. The main problem is the busy schedule. Due to the lack of players, it is difficult to participate in several tournaments at once. This is especially noticeable in the European Cups, where the Tukkers have not won a single victory and are at great risk of not making it to the playoffs.
The team plays worse away from home than at home. In the last eight away matches, they have managed to win only two, with two defeats and four draws.
Disqualifications and injuries
Taha, Hilgers and Van Bergen are injured and will not take to the field.
Interesting trends for betting
- Twente have kept clean sheets in their last two matches
- The visitors scored in three of the last four matches
Estimated line-up: Tyton – M. Rots, Lagerbilke, Bruhns, Kuipers – Kjele, Sadilek – D. Rots, Vlap, Ltayef – Lammers.

1.60Tip and bets
In cup battles, you shouldn't underestimate the underdogs in terms of scoring. There always room for surprise in such matches. The upcoming match should be no exception. Katwijk is very good at home, but Twente is unlikely to have the most fighting lineup. We're inclined to think that the hosts will be able to score, but they won't keep a clean sheet either.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.80
Bet on the outcome
Twente have a lot of problems in other tournaments, and it is far from certain that the coaching staff will decide to aim for the cup. High-quality participation in the national championship and the Europa League is clearly a priority, which means that we are unlikely to see a major victory from a club from the top division, especially since the opponent is not easy. Katwijk has suffered only three defeats in 18 games, so we do not expect a major fiasco from them.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (+1.5) on Katwijk with odds of 1.97
Bet on corners
Katwijk prefers an open style of play, as does Twente, so in the face-to-face match we expect quite a few over-totals, including the number of corner kicks.
Our prediction is total over 8.5 corners for 1.75
