FC Twente - Go Ahead Eagles betting tips and odds

A quick look at the betting odds with some of the biggest bookmakers online is enough to tell you who the favourites are. Priced at 1.75, a home win seems the obvious choice. An upset is not quite impossible, mind you, which adds a small degree of risk but is ultimately food increasing profits.

The situation is crystal clear from the current perspective. Given the strength of the home team and the fact Go Ahead Eagles are given 5.10 betting odds to win, a conclusion is not difficult to reach. Anything but a home win would be an incredible surprise.

FC Twente’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing Ajax as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 5:0 loss for FC Twente.

Go Ahead Eagles lost their previous home game against AZ Alkmaar with a considerably high 1:4 margin. Considering the overwhelming betting odds they were up against, though, the fact that they spent most of the match on the back foot is not too surprising.

FC Twente can’t seem to maintain a proper defence whenever they play as visitors. With 6 concessions over the past three away games, it’s obvious some tweaks need to be made in defence.

The visitors’ main concern will be cutting down the concession rate. They conceded more than 5 times in their latest 3 matches, and bucking the trend will be a great step in the right direction.

FC Twente played as the visitors the last time they participated in this showdown, but they managed to win anyway. As such, it’s quite clear why they’re the favourites this Sunday, even though the victory was with a one-goal difference.

The hosts went through a slew of unfortunate injuries recently, rendering some of their players unavailable for the match this Sunday. Kik Pierie, Wout Brama, Jody Lukoki will not be playing, though the team is still considered likely to win.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 2.00.
