Both teams to scoreYes (63%)
Twente host Ajax at De Grolsch Veste in Matchday 12 of the Eredivisie, with both sides sitting in the top four. Ajax occupy second place on 24 points from 11 games, while Twente are fourth with 23 points. This is a meeting between two sides capable of controlling possession and creating chances, though recent form tells different stories about consistency.
Team form
Twente
Twente have won three of their last five but suffered a setback at home to Utrecht, losing 1-2 on 18 October. Before that, they drew 1-1 away at Fortuna Sittard. Over the five-game stretch, they have scored 8 and conceded 5. Their season average stands at 2.55 goals per game scored and 0.91 conceded, suggesting a side that creates regularly but has tightened their defence. Van den Brom's 4-2-3-1 setup gives them structure in midfield, with Weidmann having scored in his last outing and Zerrouki providing defensive cover.
Ajax
Ajax have been far more prolific in their recent run, scoring 17 goals across five matches while conceding only 7. They won 5-1 at Willem II and 5-1 away at Fortuna Sittard, though they also drew 2-2 at home to Excelsior and lost 1-3 to PSV. Their season average of 2.73 goals scored and 1.18 conceded reflects an attacking threat, but defensive lapses have appeared. Their 4-3-3 formation under Michel has Gloukh, who was rated 9.2 in his last outing, operating as a creative force on the wing alongside Tsygankov and Dolberg up front.
Head-to-head
The head-to-head record between these sides is mixed. Twente won 1-0 at home in December 2016, but Ajax have dominated the more recent encounters, winning 5-2 away in 2019. Three of the five meetings have ended in draws, including consecutive 2-2 results in 2017, suggesting both teams have found ways to score against each other historically.
Key factors
Possession will likely favour Ajax—they averaged 81% in their last match compared to Twente's 63%—but Twente's defensive record this season is notably stronger. Weidmann's form in midfield and the solidity of Pröpper and Nijstad at the back give Twente a platform to absorb pressure. Ajax's attacking depth, particularly through Gloukh and Brandt, creates a constant threat, but their recent defensive vulnerabilities offer Twente opportunities on the counter. Both sides have shown they can score; the question is whether either can maintain a clean sheet.
Prediction
The bookmakers price this as a tight affair, with the home side holding a marginal edge. Twente's superior defensive record at home and Ajax's inconsistency in defence point to a competitive match where both teams are likely to find the net. The expected goal balance slightly favours the hosts, but Ajax's attacking quality means they will create chances. A game with goals at both ends appears probable, though the outcome remains genuinely uncertain.
This is a finely balanced contest. Twente have the edge playing at home with a stronger defensive foundation, but Ajax's attacking firepower and midfield control cannot be discounted. Expect an open match with chances for both sides and goals likely to flow.
