Sunday afternoon also features action from the Dutch top flight with an Eredivisie clash between Twente and Waalwijk as the betting tips continue at the De Grolsch Veste.
Twente Prediction – Can Twente build on impressive start?
The hosts bring an 8-match unbeaten run into this Sunday afternoon clash in the Eredivisie and recent results suggest further success could come Twente’s way this afternoon when they play host to Waalwijk having remained unbeaten after their first two matches of the new season.
Having secured automatic promotion at the end of last season as they claimed the Eerste Divisie league title at a canter, Twente have begun their new Eredivisie campaign in promising fashion despite having to face last season’s Dutch top flight runners-up, PSV, in their opening game of this new term.
Twente earned a solid point with a 2-2 draw on home turf against PSV at their De Grolsch Veste which they backed up with a resounding 3-1 win away at Groningen last weekend to give the newly promoted Twente 4 points from their first two matches of the campaign.
A home fixture against fellow promoted Eerste Divisie outfit, Waalwijk, beckons this Sunday and Twente will be confident of taking the spoils here as they finished some 21 points ahead of their visitors at the end of last season.
Waalwijk Prediction – Can Leicester City extend unbeaten run?
Waalwijk finished last season in triumphant fashion as they too secured promotion up to the Dutch top flight for this season’s Eredivisie campaign, but their route to the top flight was a more circuitous one than that of their hosts on Sunday.
An 8th place finish meant that Waalwijk then entered the play-off stages to determine which two teams would join Twente up in the top flight for this term. The visitors progress through these qualifiers with wins over NEC 3-2, Excelsior 3-2 and then a high-scoring 5-4 aggregate win against Go Ahead Eagles.
Unfortunately, it hasn’t been a successful return to the Eredivisie for Waalwijk though as they’re amongst one of the early strugglers this term having suffered back-to-back defeats to Venlo 3-1 away from home and last weekend’s 2-0 defeat at home to AZ Alkmaar.
It’s been 5 seasons since they last found themselves in the top flight, but Waalwijk managed to register just 1 win out of their last 9 away matches during that disappointing campaign which ultimately ended with the visitors being relegated down to the Eerste Divisie.
Key-Facts – Twente v Waalwijk
- Twente earned automatic promotion from the Eerste Divisie last season
- Waalwijk have lost their opening 2 matches on the trot in the Eredivisie
- Twente have won the last 2 meetings on the trot at home against Waalwijk
Betting Tips Verdict
Twente have made an impressive start to life back in the Eredivisie but the same can’t be said for Waalwijk who have lost their opening two matches of the season.
