- Competition: Eredivisie
- Date: 30th January 2026
- Kick-off: 19:00 UK / 20:00 CET
- Venue: Rat Verlegh Stadion
Friday night feels heavy in Breda. NAC are running out of room for error, and you can sense it. Bottom two, fifteen points behind Twente, and staring at another long fight just to stay up. The table paints one picture, however football rarely sticks to the script. NAC did beat Twente here last time, and that memory still carries a bit of weight. Bookmakers lean strongly toward the visitors, but this ground has a habit of complicating things.

Eredivisie
Since 2014, these sides have crossed paths 11 times in the Eredivisie. Twente have had the upper hand, though not by much. Four wins, three clean sheets, and a lot of tight games. NAC have only won twice, with four draws filling the gaps. Goals have usually been rationed carefully. Just over two per game on average says plenty.
NAC Breda team overview
Staying up last season already felt like a warning. Promotion through the play-offs, survival by eight points, and not much margin for comfort. This year, the cracks have widened.
Carl Hoefkens’ side sit second from bottom and arrive on a nine-game winless run. Six defeats in that stretch, and four matches without scoring at all. Even home support has not helped much. One win in eight at Rat Verlegh Stadion is a tough read for the Yellow Army.
There is not much rotation available either. Charles-Andreas Brym, more creator than finisher, is expected to support Moussa Soumano up front. Leo Greiml and Fredrik Oldrup Jensen remain sidelined, but at least discipline is not an issue this week.

Twente team overview
Twente’s season feels quieter than previous ones. Four straight top-six finishes raised expectations, so eighth place looks slightly underwhelming on paper. Still, consistency has been there.
The Reds arrive after a goalless draw with Excelsior, a result that stopped a short winning run but extended an unbeaten streak to 13 matches in all competitions. Away from home, van den Brom’s side have been particularly reliable. Ten straight road games without defeat tells its own story.
Experience will again lead the line. Ricky van Wolfswinkel, now 37, has seven league goals and remains central to how Twente attack.
Daan Rots offers the legs and movement around him. Mees Hilgers stays out long term, but otherwise the visitors look settled.

Prediction
A 1-1 draw feels like the middle ground here. NAC Breda have scored in five of their last seven home league games, yet still sit winless in nine overall. Twente arrive unbeaten in 13 matches but have drawn three of their last five away fixtures. With ten straight Twente games staying under 2.5 goals, balance points to a share.
Three reasons we expect under 2.5 goals in this game
- Eight of the last eleven Eredivisie meetings between NAC Breda and Twente finished with under 2.5 goals.
- Only two of NAC Breda’s last eight league games saw more than two goals scored.
- Twente’s last ten Eredivisie matches have all ended under the 2.5 goals line.
