Twente take on the visitors Ajax in the round 1/8-finals pf KNVB Beker. The match will be played on Thursday, February 9th at De Grolsch Veste (Enschede).
Twente tries to hold on to last season's level. The "Pride of the East" in 2010-2011 won all possible trophies in the Netherlands. But after that I had to play for some time in the 2nd Dutch football division. Against this background, the 2021/2022 draw became a breakthrough: we finished in 4th place. And now the wards of Ron Yance are trying to stay at the same level, which is quite difficult. True, there are too many draws, but there are frankly few defeats, and it turns out to win in half of the matches. In the last round, with Groningen, they gave out 1-1.

Ajax are trying to fix the season. The "Red-white" experienced some difficulties in the previous draw. But still, ten Hag was able to finally take another title. But after that, Eric moved to Manchester United, and besides, a lot of the first-team players were either sold or left as free agents. At first, Schroyder seemed to be more or less coping. But the departure of Blind, with the termination of the contract, has already shown that not everything is in order in the dressing room. And 7 rounds without victories in the Eredivisie showed that there is a crisis on the field. As a result, Alfred was expectedly fired in January. He was replaced by Heitinga, who previously worked with the reservists. Even before that, without a full-fledged mentor, it turned out to defeat Excelsior, 4-1. And already after Heitinga received the post, they defeated Cambur.
Ajax, of course, are rated higher than Twente. But at the same time, they won only twice in 5 last full-time head-to-heads, including recently, in January, there was a goalless draw in Amsterdam. Twente are not bad, but Ajax is "hungry" for success. We dare to believe in the victory of the visitors from Amsterdam.
Prediction for the match: Ajax to win.
