Preview

• Patient, possession-based style has underpinned their season, with the ability to open play wide and play in behind with a number-10 spark.

FC Twente (away)

• Twente have been the surprise package of the 2025-2026 Eredivisie campaign, and their rise up the standings has coincided with John van den Brom’s arrival on the bench.
• Van den Brom has put pragmatism first and built a side that can dominate on their terms, using vertical energy and intense pressing to make the ball work.
• Twente’s full-backs are constantly up and down the wings in support of their wide men, while their midfielders are adept at switching play from one side of the field to the other.
• FC Twente sit fifth with 41 points from 25 matches.
