Willem II - FC Twente betting tips and odds

Willem II have a big mountain to climb. The task ahead is difficult but not impossible but with 3.35 slapped on home win in this match, this one is for the risk-takers.

FC Twente are regarded as favourites, but that doesn’t mean they can relax. With an almost negligible difference in the perceived strength of these two teams, sub-standard play is a recipe for disaster.

The hosts are still reeling from the 2:0 thrashing they received in the last round’s away game. Their opponents PEC Zwolle spent the entire game in the lead, ultimately winning the bout 2:0 despite the fact pre-match predictions and odds were in Willem II’s favour.

FC Twente’s latest performance against SC Heerenveen can’t be called impressive, but it speaks well fo their form. The first 45 minutes were rather mediocre considering they were seen as slight favourites. However, FC Twente ensured a sound 2:0 victory in the later stages.

Experts have pointed at Willem II’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 7 goals over the last 3 Eredivisie games.

We’ve seen some impressive offensive performances from FC Twente in the past few weeks. Their latest 3 league outings were marked by more than 5 goals scored, which means this match is likely to confirm markets like BTTS and Over 5 Goals.

Looking at the head-to-head stats between these two squads, we see a tied game from an earlier round. This was a missed opportunity for Willem II, who should have had an easy time earning 3 points in a home game. They’re still the favourites, but their chances of winning the game are smaller than they were in that previous bout.

Though the visitors are favourites here, it’s important to note they’ll be playing without Kik Pierie, Wout Brama, Václav Černý, Jody Lukoki due to injury. On the flip side, the hosts will also be several players short – namely, Robbin Ruiter, Freek Heerkens, Wesley Spieringhs have also reported injuries.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.90 odds offered at Betway.
