Twente vs Utrecht Best Bets and Predictions
Twente took advantage of some important availability issues last week for Ajax and took home a valuable point, but this time against Utrecht they will be the favorite.
Contents
Twente to Win
Twente suffered its last defeat in October, it was an away match to the league leaders Feyenoord. Since then, they had plenty of draws, but also some important wins. The Enschede outfit is a team with the best home record in Eredivisie and will welcome a chance to extend their good run of form.
Under 2.5 Goals
Utrecht is a top-six team when it comes to playing matches with more than two goals scored, but this game will be more about what Twente allows them to do with their ball possession. Twente has the best defense in the league and is one of the teams with the most ‘under' matches this term. Taking another low-scoring game is a rational prediction.

Provisional Lineups, Team News, and Preview
Twente
The team from the city of Enschede has been top-notch this season, and through 16 rounds of matches is probably the biggest hit of the league. The club barely spent any money last summer, they trusted most of the players from last season, and with few additions made their case for a good season. Their biggest signing was a 20-year-old attacking midfielder Sam Steijn who has scored four goals and has been doing the work on both sides of the field. Of course, the star of the team is striker Ricky van Wolfswinkel who is their best scorer with six goals, and also an assistant leader with four. But, this team is more than just one player, it's about a team effort which is shown in their defensive work. Allowing only nine goals through 16 matches is a big achievement that makes the whole club proud of its work. Coach Ron Jans has one injury issue with Dimitrios Limnios being out of the match against Utrecht.
Provisional lineup: Unnerstall, Sampsted, Hilgers, Propper, Smal, Zerrouki, Sadilek, Cerny, Vlap, Misidjan, van Wolfswinkel.
Utrecht
The visiting team will have something to say in this match as well. Even though most bookmakers predict Twente's victory, they also underestimate a positive season that a team from Utrecht is having. They are seventh in the rankings with only five point disadvantage from Twente. But, contrary to their opponents on this day, their defense is not what separates them. They have conceded 24 goals and will be looking at how to stop Twente's attackers from getting opportunities. Utrecht is undefeated in their last six league matches, but the last two were draws. The one that hurts more was against Feyenoord when they conceded a goal in the last minutes of the game. The guest team is one of the best in the league when it comes to their away form, they have won four times with a couple of draws, and losses on their record. Utrecht will be without Ramon Hendriks through injury, while Django Warmerdam, Bart Ramselaar, and Tommy St. Jago are doubtful to play.
Provisional lineup: Barkas, Klaiber, van der Hoorn, Sagnan, van der Maarel, Bozdogan, Toornstra, van de Streek, Booth, Dost, Younes.
Starting lineups

Player to Watch: Sem Steijn
He might not be the best player in the Twente team, but he has been a great addition to the club since joining as a free transfer signing from ADO Den Haag. The 21-year-old scored four goals this season in ten matches that he played in limited minutes.
