Twente vs Telstar Prediction and Betting Tips

Twente will face Telstar at De Grolsch Veste on Friday in another round of the 2025-26 Eredivisie campaign. The home side have had mixed results in the league this season but remain hopeful of finishing in the qualification playoff spots as they sit ninth in the table with 15 points from 11 matches.

They held on for a 1-1 draw away at Groningen last time out, with Kristian Hlynsson opening the scoring in the 47th minute before their opponents leveled the scores from the spot minutes later.

Telstar are back in the Dutch top flight for the first time in nearly five decades and have endured what has perhaps been an expectedly difficult return to the division. They had to settle for a point in their 2-2 draw with Excelsior last weekend - a game in which they squandered an early two-goal lead and a second-half penalty.

The visitors, who sit 17th in the league standings, are just two points above last-placed Heracles Almelo and will hope to at least retain that advantage by the end of gameweek 12.

Twente vs Telstar Prediction

The Tukkers head into the weekend clash on a three-game winless run in the league after winning their previous three. However, they remain clear favorites for this one due to the sheer gulf in class and quality between the two teams.

Similarly, De Witte Leeuwen are without a win in their last four league games, with three of those outings ending in defeat. They have lost all but one of their last four Eredivisie games on the road and could see defeat here as well.
