Twente walk into this one as heavy favourites, and honestly, the numbers back that up pretty loudly. John van den Brom’s side have been scoring for fun lately, while Thun arrive from Switzerland on the back of a rocky month that’s seen them lose three of their last five. There’s an interesting wrinkle here though: Thun’s defense has been shipping goals at an alarming rate away from home, and De Grolsch Veste has turned into something of a fortress for the Dutch side this autumn. We think this fixture could get out of hand quickly if Twente’s front line clicks early.
Keep an eye on Wout Weghorst up top for Twente. He’s been directly involved in goals across his last two outings and his aerial presence alone is a problem for most Conference League backlines. On the Thun side, Nils Reichmuth is probably their most reliable creative outlet right now, a player who’s chipped in with a goal and an assist recently despite his team’s struggles elsewhere on the pitch.
Hot stat: Twente’s 7-0 demolition of Werder Bremen in their last outing is the standout number from either camp’s recent run… that’s not a typo, seven goals in a single Conference League match against a side with Bundesliga pedigree.

Twente vs Thun prediction
Twente to win looks like the obvious call given the gulf in bookmaker pricing, but we’d rather look beyond the straight moneyline here. With odds hovering around 1.05 to 1.21 for the hosts, there’s barely any value left in backing them outright. What catches our attention more is the goals market. Twente scored seven in their last match and have found the net in four of their last five, while Thun have conceded multiple goals in three of their last five outings too. That’s a combination that screams goals.
Style-wise, Thun are the more combative side on paper, racking up 54 fouls and 8 yellow cards across their last five matches compared to Twente’s 31 fouls and 2 cards in the same stretch. That discipline gap could matter if Thun’s defenders start getting dragged out of position chasing Twente’s movement, and a card or two early could open things up even further. Pass accuracy also tilts heavily Twente’s way, 700 completed passes at a cleaner rate than Thun’s 710 attempts over a similar volume, suggesting the hosts will dominate possession and dictate tempo for long stretches.

Team Analysis
Twente’s form sheet reads like a dream right now. Three wins and a draw from their last four, a 75% win rate over the past month, and that eye-watering 7-0 win over Werder Bremen as the headline act. Before that they ground out a 1-1 draw with Fortuna Sittard, which is really the only blemish in an otherwise spotless recent stretch that also includes wins over PSV (3-2), ADO Den Haag (2-0) and Telstar (1-0). The Werder Bremen result especially stands out, not just for the scoreline but for what it says about this squad’s ceiling when everything clicks going forward.
Thun’s picture is messier. A 2-4 loss to Zurich in their last match continues a pattern of defensive fragility, conceding four goals on multiple occasions this stretch including an identical 2-4 defeat to Servette. There was a bright spot, a 2-0 win over Kriens and a 2-1 win against Vaduz, but a 0-1 loss to Grasshopper rounds out a mixed bag. Five matches, two wins, three losses… Gian Luca Privitelli’s side just haven’t found consistency, and that 40% winrate over the last 30 days tells its own story heading into a tough European away day.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Twente the favourite
- Moneyline Twente 1.19 | Thun 10.00
- Draw 7.00
- Over/Under Over 2.5 1.75 | Under 2.5 2.05
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes 1.95 | No 1.85
Bookmakers have this one priced about as one-sided as European football gets, with Twente’s implied probability sitting near 79%. We get why, the home form gap is massive, but prices like 1.19 just don’t leave much room to make money unless you’re staking heavily. The draw at 7.00 and Thun at double digits reflect how little faith the market has in a Swiss upset here, and honestly, we don’t disagree with that read.
Possible Starting Lineups
Twente possible starting eleven
- GK: Joel Drommel
- DF: Bart van Rooij, Robin Propper, Ruud Nijstad, Aske Emil Berg Adelgaard
- MF: Ramiz Zerrouki, Daouda Weidmann, Daan Rots, Younes Taha El Idrissi, Marko Pjaca
- FW: Wout Weghorst
Van den Brom tends to stick with his 4-2-3-1 and there’s little reason to change a winning formula after a 7-0 result. Zerrouki and Weidmann screen the back four while the front three rotate positions freely behind Weghorst, who remains the focal point up top. Robin Propper chipping in with a goal from defense is a nice bonus for the hosts too.
Thun possible starting eleven
- GK: Niklas Steffen
- DF: Jan Bamert, Lucien Dähler, Fabio Fehr, Olivier Mambwa
- MF: Justin Roth, Nassim Zoukit, Nils Reichmuth, Tom Strannegard, fabio saiz
- FW: Furkan Dursun
Privitelli also runs a 4-2-3-1, mirroring Twente’s setup. Roth and Zoukit have played every minute in the recent run and look locked in as the pivot, while Dursun’s end product (a goal and an assist in his last three) makes him the most likely focal point in attack against a much stronger side.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We’re leaning Twente here, and not by a small margin. The home side’s attacking numbers over the last month are genuinely elite for this level of competition, and Thun’s defense has been leaking goals against teams of a similar or lesser quality than what’s waiting for them in Enschede. Our pick is Twente to win comfortably, with the goals market offering the better value given how open Thun tend to play even in defeat. A heavy home win, something in the region of 3-1 or 4-1, feels like the realistic range. Backing Twente with goals attached rather than just the straight win is where we’d put our money on this one.
