Feyenoord has shown relatively stable form in the Eredivisie. According to their current statistics, they have achieved 3 wins and 3 draws in six matches, placing them in the upper tier of the league. The team is highly motivated as they remain in the race for the Eredivisie title and are also aiming for Champions League qualification. Twente is also performing well, though their performance has shown some fluctuations, especially in the Europa League. This match is crucial for them as they need to maintain their position among the top four teams in the league.
Attack and Defense Data Comparison
Feyenoord has a strong offensive efficiency, having scored 11 goals in 6 matches, which is a fairly high number. Among their attackers, Santiago Giménez stands out, having scored 3 goals in 5 matches, and his role could be decisive in the match. Additionally, the team’s xG (expected goals) is steadily around 1.8 per match, indicating that the team is consistently able to create scoring opportunities.
Defensively, Feyenoord is stable, having conceded just 6 goals in 6 matches, and their goalkeeper, Timon Wellenreuther, has performed excellently, with a 68.4% save rate. The team is one of the best defensive units in the league, suggesting that Twente may face challenges in scoring.
Twente also boasts a reliable attacking unit, having scored 13 goals so far this season. Sem Steijn has been particularly noteworthy, with 6 goals and 1 assist to his name, which will be crucial against Feyenoord.

Key Statistical Elements
- Feyenoord’s Offensive Efficiency: Santiago Giménez has an xG of 2.97 this season, which indicates significant goal-scoring potential. Moreover, Feyenoord consistently scores more than 1.5 goals per match, so they are likely to score multiple goals against Twente as well.
- Twente’s Defensive Statistics: Goalkeeper Lars Unnerstall has shown excellent form with a 76.2% save rate, indicating that scoring against him will be challenging. However, as Twente concedes an average of 1.86 goals per match, Feyenoord’s attackers are expected to be successful multiple times.
- Twente’s Attacking Statistics: Sem Steijn’s xG is 4.2, indicating that he can pose a threat, but he may face challenges against Feyenoord’s solid defense.
Low-Risk Bet:
- Both Teams to Score (Moderate Risk, 60%): Twente’s attackers can surprise Feyenoord’s defense, but this is riskier given Feyenoord’s strong defense.
