Twente have had a poor start to the season and remain without a point after the first round. Over their last ten matches, the team have won three, drawn four and lost three, so their results cannot be called consistent. Going forward, Twente are fairly powerful and score an average of 2.2 goals per game, but their defence concedes 1.7. This imbalance regularly leads to open matches where the team create plenty of chances but also leave their opponents enough space.

Zwolle also started the season with a goalless defeat and have yet to pick up a point. In their last ten matches, the team won only twice, drew three times and lost five. Over this run, the visitors scored an average of one goal and conceded 2.3 per game, which points to serious problems primarily in defence. At the same time, Zwolle are often involved in goal exchanges away from home: this pattern was seen in their last 17 away matches, so even against a higher-profile opponent the team are capable of creating their own chances.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Twente are considered a very obvious favourite in the upcoming match: the hosts are clearly superior to their opponents in quality and will also be playing at home. Zwolle know that competing in open football will be extremely difficult, so the visitors will almost certainly try to play as defensively as possible and not allow Twente to create too many chances. Especially given that in 14 of the last 15 head-to-head meetings at Twente's ground, Zwolle have not lost by more than two goals. That is why our bet is a Zwolle win with a handicap (+2.5). The expected score is 2:1.
