Twente vs Zwolle prediction: Twente to triumph in Enschede
Key Stats
- Twente have won each of their last four meetings with PEC Zwolle.
- Both teams scored in each of the two Eredivisie meetings between these clubs last season.
- Four of Twente’s last five matches in all competitions have produced over 2.5 goals.
- Twente conceded one goal in each of their first three Eredivisie fixtures of the new campaign.
Correct score prediction: Twente 2-1 Zwolle
Twente beat Zwolle 2-1 when the teams last met in May and having conceded exactly once in each of their first three league matches of the new campaign, the Tukkers could match that scoreline on Saturday.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Twente clear favourites
- HOME: 27/100 (1.27) – 78.7%
- DRAW: 17/4 (5.25) – 19%
- AWAY: 8/1 (9.00) – 11.1%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Twente failed in their attempts to qualify for the Champions League in the summer, though they can turn their full attention to domestic matters for the time being and a fifth win in a row over Zwolle could be in the offering for the 27/100 favourites.
Zwolle produced the goods to beat Heracles 3-0 before the international break, though they are unlikely to match that result at Twente and they have been priced as 8/1 underdogs as a consequence. View more of our Eredivisie tips on our football predictions page.

Player to watch – Anselmo MacNulty
Anselmo MacNulty was a first-team staple for Zwolle last season and the promising centre-half has been an ever-present for the club so far this term, starting all four of his team’s first four Eredivisie fixtures.
MacNulty has shown promise
MacNulty, who is a current Irish U21 international, has been building his reputation in the Netherlands since moving there from German outfit Wolfsburg last year and the 21-year-old will be eager to impress in another tough game at Twente on Saturday.
