- Competition: Eredivisie
- Date: Wednesday, 14th May 2025
- Kickoff: 19:00 UK / 20:00 CEST
- Venue: De Grolsch Veste (Enschede)
Twente failed to repeat the previous season when they finished third on the table, but the team from Enschede should still be satisfied as they have a chance to win a place in the Conference League through the playoffs. Twente surely hoped for, at least, the Europa League, but some weaker games in April cost them a chance to compete with Utrecht. The team from Joseph Oosting's team recently improved as they won the last two matches. In the previous game, they won 2-0 at home against Utrecht. The teams were pretty even, but Twente's much better efficiency decided a winner.
AZ Alkmaar probably expected a slightly better season. In the cup, they had a perfect opportunity for the trophy, but in the final, AZ Alkmaar lost against Go Ahead Eagles, while in Eredivisie, Maarten Martens' team will need the Conference League playoff to secure playing in the European competitions in 2025/26. Since the cup loss, AZ Alkmaar slightly improved as they were undefeated in the previous three matches. In the last game, Martens' team won 3-0 at home against Groningen. The home side finished the match with an xG of 3.26, while the guests had 0.65, so it is no wonder AZ Alkmaar secured an easy victory.
Twente vs AZ Alkmaar pick: Both teams to score - yes
Twente scored at least one goal in each of the last twenty matches. On the other hand, AZ Alkmaar scored six goals in the previous two games. We should expect the goals on both sides on Wednesday night in Enschede.
