Cambuur host Twente at the Kooi Stadion on Matchday 4 of the 2026/27 Eredivisie season, and the gap between these two sides right now could hardly be wider. Cambuur sit bottom of the table with zero points from three games and a goal difference of minus nine. Twente, ranked 12th, have already picked up three points and carry considerably more quality across the pitch. The interesting angle here is that Cambuur’s sole scorer across their last five matches, Rafik El Arguioui, has netted all three of the team’s goals on his own, making him almost the entire attacking threat for Johan Plat’s side.
Twente’s Marko Pjaca arrives in fine form, contributing three goals across his last five appearances and leading the line with real sharpness. On the other side, Rafik El Arguioui is the one Cambuur player capable of causing problems, having accounted for every goal his team has scored in recent weeks. Keep an eye on both of them.
A hot stat worth flagging: Twente have registered 120 total shots across their last five matches compared to Cambuur’s 40. That is a three-to-one ratio in attempts, and it tells you a great deal about what this game is likely to look like.

Cambuur vs Twente Prediction
Twente are the clear pick here. They have won three of their last eight matches, drawn two, and carry a far deeper squad into this fixture. Cambuur have lost all six of their last 30-day games without a single draw or win. That is a team in serious trouble defensively, having conceded 12 goals in three Eredivisie games already this season.
The best value lies with a Twente win. John van den Brom’s side has the attacking output, the passing structure, and the consistency to punish a Cambuur backline that has looked completely exposed since the season started. We predict Twente to win comfortably and the game to produce goals at both ends, given that Cambuur do carry at least one genuine threat up front.
On style of play, Twente have committed 59 fouls across five games and collected nine yellow cards, which shows they press and compete physically. Cambuur have fouled 29 times with only two yellow cards, suggesting a more passive defensive approach. Twente’s pass accuracy across five games is significantly higher, and their ball circulation will put sustained pressure on a Cambuur side that struggles to hold possession. This dynamic favors a high-volume attacking performance from the visitors.

Team Analysis
Cambuur have been in freefall. They have lost all six matches played in the last 30 days, conceding heavily in each Eredivisie outing this season. Their most recent match was a 2-5 home defeat to Feyenoord, a game where El Arguioui’s goals gave a slightly flattering look to the scoreline. Before that, a 1-3 loss to Fortuna Sittard and a 0-4 defeat to Excelsior showed just how exposed this defence is. In the five-match sample, Cambuur managed only 1,286 total passes, well below what their opponents are producing, and their 30 interceptions suggest they are being overrun in midfield regularly. Coach Johan Plat has yet to find a solution.
Twente’s last 30 days have been a mixed picture, but their most recent match was a 4-1 win over Qarabag, a result that showed real attacking intent. Prior to that, they lost 0-1 to Qarabag in the first leg of what appears to be a European qualifier double-header, then beat PEC Zwolle 3-1 in the league. A 3-3 draw with Dunajska Streda and a 0-1 loss to Heerenveen make up the rest of the recent schedule. Across five matches, Twente have scored 10 goals and produced 120 shots, which reflects a team that creates chances consistently. Pjaca, Weidmann, and Wout Weghorst all appear in the goals column, giving John van den Brom multiple attacking options.
Most Recent Head-to-Head Matches
These two sides have no recent head-to-head data available beyond the current season’s scoreless entry, but the bookmakers’ expectations tell the story clearly enough.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Twente the Favourite
- Moneyline Cambuur 7.73 | Twente 1.30
- Draw 5.42
- Over/Under Over 2.5 N/A | Under 2.5 N/A
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes N/A | No N/A
The odds paint an accurate picture. Twente at around 1.30 to 1.38 across bookmakers reflects their 69% win probability and is fair given the form gap. Cambuur at 7.00 to 7.73 is a long shot, and to be honest, nothing in the data suggests those odds are generous. The draw at 5.00 to 5.60 is also unattractive. Pinnacle offering Twente at 1.34 and Cambuur at 7.73 gives the sharpest spread, and the smart play is simply to take Twente at the best available price rather than looking for an inflated return on a Cambuur result that current form does not support.
Possible Starting Lineups
Cambuur Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Thijs Jansen
- DF: Jamal Amofa, Ismaël Baouf, Lucas Jetten, Morgan Costarelli
- MF: Nicky Souren, Iwan Henstra, Ethan Apkakou
- FW: Rafik El Arguioui, Ilyes Hamache, Skye Vink
Cambuur look set to line up in a 4-2-3-1 or a narrow 4-3-3 shape. Thijs Jansen starts in goal, having made 12 saves across three games, which is a worrying volume that reflects how much pressure the backline faces. Amofa and Baouf are the defensive pillars, both logging full minutes. El Arguioui is the key man to watch, operating as the number ten or second striker role. He is the only player in this squad who has converted, and Cambuur will rely heavily on him to create something from limited possession.
Twente Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Lars Unnerstall
- DF: Bart van Rooij, Robin Propper, Ruud Nijstad, Aske Emil Berg Adelgaard
- MF: Ramiz Zerrouki, Daouda Weidmann, Thomas Van den Belt
- FW: Marko Pjaca, Wout Weghorst, Daan Rots
Twente should line up in their regular 4-2-3-1. Unnerstall takes the gloves with four appearances in the last five matches. Propper and Van Rooij are the defensive anchors with high pass volumes. Zerrouki and Weidmann in central midfield provide both defensive cover and creative output. Up front, Pjaca leads the line with three goals in five games, and Weghorst adds aerial presence and link-up play. Weidmann’s two assists in recent games make him particularly dangerous from midfield positions. This is a well-balanced side with genuine depth across all areas.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We predict a Twente win, and the data backs this up from every angle. Cambuur have zero points, zero wins in six attempts over the past month, and a defence that has shipped 12 goals in three Eredivisie matches. Twente arrive off a 4-1 win, carry three times the shot volume, and have multiple goalscorers across their squad.
The goals market is also appealing. Cambuur have shown they can score through El Arguioui, but they cannot keep clean sheets. Twente have the attacking firepower to score multiple goals here. Over 2.5 goals and both teams to score look like the two supporting markets worth pairing with a Twente win. The corner market is another option worth considering, given Twente’s 40 corners in five games versus Cambuur’s 15.
To be honest, this is one of the more straightforward calls of the Eredivisie weekend. Twente should win, and they should win without too much difficulty.
