At the start of the 2026-27 season, Ajax, PSV Eindhoven, and Feyenoord – Dutch football’s three biggest clubs – were expected to be the main contenders. However, Twente’s early form has shown they cannot be discounted.
John van den Brom’s side have already beaten PSV 3-2 this season, contributing to a joint league-high seven wins. Sunday’s historic 9-0 thrashing of SBV Excelsior kept them in fourth place, just two points adrift of leaders Feyenoord.
Many questioned how the Tukkers would cope with balancing domestic and continental commitments, but those doubts have been emphatically answered after Twente’s 3-1 win over Pafos on Thursday preserved their perfect Conference League record.
Playing arguably their best football since their title-winning 2009-10 campaign, Twente can approach this weekend’s clash with heavyweight opponents without fear – especially at home, where they have collected 12 points from a possible 15.
Boasting the league’s meanest defence, Sunday’s hosts have consistently kept opponents at bay this term, though they have occasionally looked vulnerable in first halves, conceding 60% of their 10 goals before the break.
After a 2-1 defeat to Hajduk Split to start their Conference League campaign, Ajax appeared in danger of unravelling as they went three matches without a win. However, five consecutive victories since then have dispelled any doubts.
With a home fixture against AZ Alkmaar and an away trip to Denmark scheduled within five days, Michel’s men navigated what was expected to be one of their toughest weeks of the season unscathed, recording victories in both games.
A 6-1 thrashing of Midtjylland last time out was De Godenzonen’s biggest win under Michel, providing a timely confidence boost ahead of a clash with a Twente side also brimming with belief.
Unbeaten in nine of their 10 competitive away matches this season (W8, D1), Sunday’s visitors have been nearly flawless on the road, although their record in Enschede is less impressive, with only one win from their last four visits, conceding at least two goals on each occasion.
Wout Weghorst scored in three consecutive matches for Ajax against Twente, but with the Dutch striker now playing for the opposition, the away side will need others to step up.
