Twente hosts PSV in round 1 of Dutch Eredivisie. The match will be played on Saturday, August 3rd at De Grolsch Veste (Enschede)
Twente had a break in the first league for a season. In the 17-18 championship, the team relegated from the top division and won this very 1st league without any problems. The gap from the second place was 11 points, and it happened despite the fact that Twente openly finished the tournament by gaining only 8 points in the last 7 rounds. It hammered 79 goals to its rivals. And it is important in light of the proposed outcome.

This week PSV surprised the football community by relegating from the Champions League already at the qualification stage. Yes, Basel is not a pleasant rival, and it is an experienced European cup fighter, but still, with all due respect to the Swiss, the Dutch seem to be more eminent, and the Dutch championship is stronger than the Swiss one... Although, in principle, everything is logical here. PSV began to slow down already at the finish of its last championship where it led the entire season and gave the title to Ajax in the end. And in the 1st match in Eindhoven, it was already worth being wary of PSV game. The team was losing until the 89th minute but managed to scratch out a 3-2 victory. And in Switzerland, the hosts were more persistent and attentive and deservedly advanced further.
I will advise not to look for a winner in the 1st round because the vice-champion can do something strange once again (besides, PSV lost the Super Cup to Ajax), as well as hammer Twente with a difference of 3-4 goals. But PSV probably will not go without a goal allowed. There are clear problems in defense. PSV conceded 2 goals from Basel in every match and conceded 2 goals from Ajax. It also received 2 goals from Wolfsburg and Nice in 2 friendly matches. Surely, it will receive from Twente, which has returned to the elite division and is hungry to victories in this division. But PSV will probably not leave the field without a goal scored. Its attack plays quite well.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
