Twente welcome bottom side Den Haag to De Grolsch Veste aiming to keep pace with the Eredivisie’s early front-runners. The home side sit fifth after five rounds, level on points with the pack chasing PSV and AZ Alkmaar, while Den Haag prop up the table with just a single point from five outings.
An interesting subplot sits underneath the raw table position. Twente’s squad has already logged two midweek continental fixtures against Qarabag in the buildup to this round, testing the depth of John van den Brom’s group before a domestic weekend. That rotation risk offers Den Haag a sliver of hope, even though the underlying numbers point firmly toward a home landslide.
Wout Weghorst has been directly involved in five goals across his last five appearances for Twente, and his movement inside the box should trouble a Den Haag backline that has shipped 14 goals in five league games. Evan Rottier remains Den Haag’s most productive creative outlet with a goal and two assists in his last four matches, and any response from the visitors is likely to run through him.
The most telling number from the data belongs to the corner count. Twente have forced 34 corners across their last five matches compared to a mere 13 for Den Haag, a gap that mirrors the 109-to-45 disparity in total shots between the two sides.

Twente vs Den Haag prediction
We predict Twente to win comfortably, but backing the straight moneyline at odds hovering close to 1.22 offers little value for the size of the risk taken. The better route, in our punters’ view, is the Asian handicap Twente -1.5, which still captures the expected gulf in quality while returning odds worth chasing. Twente have scored 10 goals across their last five matches and average almost seven corners per game, and Den Haag’s defense has cracked under pressure in four of their last five outings.
Twente’s fouls tally sits at 62 across five matches against Den Haag’s 50, translating to roughly 12 fouls per game compared to 10 for the visitors. Twente’s higher card count, 11 yellows to 5, suggests van den Brom’s men press with more intensity and accept more bookings doing so. Possession backs that up too. Twente completed close to 86% of their passes in the sample compared to roughly 83% for Den Haag, a gap that should let the hosts dictate tempo and territory for long spells on Saturday.

Team Analysis
Twente head into this one off the back of a tidy 1-0 win over Telstar, a result that continued a run in which they have won three, drawn one, and lost just once across their last five outings. The 4-1 demolition of Cambuur a fortnight prior stands out as a marker of the attacking ceiling this squad can reach, even though the 0-1 defeat away to Qarabag shows the group is not invincible when rotation kicks in.
Den Haag arrive in far worse shape. Their most recent match ended in a 2-3 defeat to Fortuna Sittard, extending a stretch of four losses and one draw across their last five games, a run that has left them bottom of the Eredivisie table with a single point. The 1-4 collapse against Groningen and the 0-2 loss to AZ Alkmaar earlier in this stretch point to a defense struggling to contain even mid-table opposition, let alone a Twente side firing on most cylinders at home.
Most recent Head-to-Head Matches

Pre-game odds and win probability: Twente the favourite
- Moneyline Twente 1.22 | Den Haag 9.50
- Draw 6.50
The market leaves almost no doubt about who the bookmakers expect to win. A Twente price around 1.22 reflects the near 76% implied probability quoted by the bookmakers, and to be honest, that number tracks closely with the form and table gap between these two sides. The draw price near 6.50 and Den Haag’s long odds near 9.50 both signal that a shock result would require Twente to badly underperform or Den Haag to produce their best defensive display of the season, perhaps a stretch given their recent output.
Possible Starting Lineups
Twente possible starting eleven

- GK: Lars Unnerstall
- DF: Max Bruns, Bart van Rooij, Robin Propper, Ruud Nijstad
- MF: Ramiz Zerrouki, Daouda Weidmann, Daan Rots, Younes Taha El Idrissi, Sondre Holmlund Orjasaeter
- FW: Wout Weghorst
Van den Brom tends to stick with his 4-2-3-1 shape, and the appearance data backs a settled backline of Bruns, van Rooij, Propper, and Nijstad in front of Unnerstall. Zerrouki and Weidmann anchor the double pivot, while Younes Taha El Idrissi and Sondre Holmlund provide width behind Weghorst, who leads the line as the main goal threat.
Den Haag possible starting eleven

- GK: Kilian Nikièma
- DF: Milan Hokke, Pascal Mulder, Othniël Raterink, Illaijh de Ruijter
- MF: Juho Kilo, Mylian Jimenez, F. de Bruin, Evan Rottier, Daryl van Mieghem
- FW: Yannick Fereira Eduardo
Robin Peter also favors a 4-2-3-1, with Kilo and Jimenez shielding the back four while Rottier, de Bruin, and van Mieghem look to spark something in transition. Yannick Fereira Eduardo, the squad’s sharpest finisher with two goals in the sample, leads the attack, though he will see little service against a Twente side controlling most of the ball.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We predict a routine home win for Twente, likely by two goals or more. The numbers line up too cleanly to argue otherwise: a home side scoring freely and forcing corners at will against a visitor that has lost four of its last five and sits bottom of the table with a single point. Den Haag’s tendency to score in most of their recent matches, even in defeats, keeps both teams to score in play, and we lean toward Twente covering a -1.5 handicap as the value angle of the day.
