Having to confront PSV Eindhoven at this stage is a nightmare for almost all the teams in the league. But that's where Joseph Oosting and his team beg to differ, as they have marked this as a coveted opportunity worth ticking off their bucket list as a significant accomplishment. This sentiment derives from their commendable triumphs against Ajax Amsterdam and Feyenoord (2-1) this season.
However, despite their anticipations for this upcoming clash, signs of uneasiness about their capabilities of causing an upset may be infiltrating their camp, as recent form scripts a floundering performance due to their inability to secure wins against the league's lower-ranked teams. A 1-1 draw away from home against FC Utrecht was followed by a 3-3 draw at home against NEC Nijmegen.
Despite being under the radar this season, the Tukkers have been an indomitable force at home, where De Grolsch Veste has sent shivers down the spines of fellow league opponents, going unbeaten in 26 matches, recording twenty-two wins and four draws, not to mention that Peter Bzosch's men were one of their victims during this laudable run, winning 2-1 last season, putting them in pole position to be the first ones in the league to disrupt their opponents unblemished record.
With 27 points collected from 12 matches played, FC Twente sits third in the Eredivisie standings, one point ahead of fourth-placed AZ Alkmaar and a mere two points behind second-placed Feyenoord.

The Lightbulbs have been glowing brightly without a flicker this season in the Eredivisie, where they've established themselves as a formidable force. With twelve out of twelve wins, they are the only side who's maintained an unblemished record despite the attention expected to be fixated on the defending champions, Feyenoord.
In the last match before the hiatus, their coordination and brilliance reached their peak as they defeated PEC Zwolle with a commanding 4-0 triumph at the iconic Philips Stadion. A result that came as no surprise given their unwavering dominance at home, going unbeaten in fifteen matches.
Stability can also be found in their away fixtures, going unbeaten in thirteen matches. However, a five-match winning streak this season highlights their expertise, not to mention a rock-solid defense that has seen them keep four consecutive clean sheets while conceding one goal in a 4-1 triumph over Vitesse in their first away match of the season.
With 36 points collected from 12 matches, PSV Eindhoven are currently in control of the summit in the Eredivisie standings. Given that they have maintained a five-point lead over second-placed Feyenoord, we see them as overwhelming favorites to clinch this season's title.

Expert Betting Tips
There's only one word to describe PSV Eindhoven's performance in the Eredivisie this season: splendid, and there's absolutely no stopping them. The Lightbulbs boast a dominant record over FC Twente, and this should be a confidence booster to see them maintain their 100% record in the Eredivisie.
However, in this case, focusing on the full-time market could go sideways, as FC Twente could turn out to be a tricky opponent for the visitors despite being underdogs, and as such, the corner market seems appealing as we expect the total to exceed over 10, which should be a free hit with the visitors averaging 7.6 corners per game when playing away.
- Corners - Over 10 for 2.10
- Total - Over 3 for 1.83
- Both Teams To Score + Goals - Over 2.5 for 1.72
