PEC Zwolle team overview

Not even a strong late-season surge, which saw them collect 10 points from a possible 12 in their final four Eredivisie outings, was enough to sneak into the Conference League playoff spots, as they ultimately fell just two points short.

The Bluefingers made a promising start to pre-season by edging out Dundee United 2-1, but their preparations quickly took a turn for the worse — suffering three straight defeats without scoring a single goal and leaking seven at the other end.

Zwolle are a tough side to face on their own turf, demonstrating tremendous resilience by remaining unbeaten by anyone but Ajax in their last eight league home matches, and their notable 3-1 triumph over champions PSV in that stretch highlights just how dangerous they can be.

The injury to first-team goalkeeper Jasper Schendelaar has thrown a curveball at PEC ahead of the new season, meaning newcomer Tom de Graaff is set to fill the goalkeeping duties.

Twente team overview

Despite finishing the regular Eredivisie season somewhere between fifth and ninth place, securing themselves a spot in the Conference League playoffs, Twente ultimately missed out on European football after a thrilling five-goal final defeat to AZ Alkmaar.

With that in mind, the Enschede side will channel all their energy into the domestic championship, determined to match the success of their 2023-24 third-place finish, although they are fully aware that achieving this won’t be an easy walk in the park.

It was a packed summer for Josep Scholete’s side, who took part in nine pre-season friendlies and emerged victorious on five occasions, but a dip in form during the closing stages — managing just one win from their last four matches — leaves question marks hanging over their readiness for competitive action.

Although they lost a key figure in Sem Steijn, whose transfer brought in €10 million, Twente’s management responded well by bringing in Kristian Hlynsson, Robin Propper, Stav Lemkin, and Feyenoord duo Thomas van den Belt and Ramiz Zerrouki.

First-choice keeper Lars Unnerstall picked up a minor knock, but he’s expected to get the medical green light to start in Oosting’s lineup for matchday one of the new Eredivisie season.

Prediction

With high hopes surrounding Twente ahead of the new Eredivisie campaign, the Enschede outfit will be eager to make an early statement of intent in the race for European places — though their inconsistent away record from last season could leave the door open for PEC Zwolle to cause a stir in front of their own fans. The Bluefingers have become notoriously difficult to beat at home, armed with tactical tools to disrupt the visitors’ rhythm and confidence, but their defensive frailties remain a glaring weakness that could be exploited by rivals boasting a diverse range of offensive options. This clash promises to be an entertaining showdown between two offensively driven teams, who should have no trouble breaching each other’s defenses, continuing Twente’s remarkable run with 13 of their 16 away matches in 2025 finishing with both sides on the scoresheet.

Four Reasons we expect BTTS

  1. PEC Zwolle have found the net in eight of their last nine home league matches.
  2. Twelve of Twente’s 15 visits in 2025 have ended with both teams scoring.
  3. Only once in their last 12 away visits have Twente kept their opponents off the scoresheet.
  4. Each of the last four head-to-head matches between these rivals has witnessed BTTS.

PEC Zwolle vs Twente – FAQ

? Who is PEC Zwolle's player to watch?

PEC Zwolle have also lost their talisman from last season in Dylan Vente, and it remains to be seen who will be their main attacking threat in the 2025-26 campaign.

? Who is Twente's player to watch?

Twente’s attack last season was impeccably led by Sem Steijn, who finished as the top scorer in the Eredivisie with 24 goals and seven assists, but now the question remains who will take the main role in attack after his departure.
