Twente take on the visitors Excelsior in the round 15 match of Dutch Eredivisie. The match will be played on Friday, December 8th at De Grolsch Veste (Enschede).
Twente even managed to become the champions of the Netherlands in 2010. In the following season, they finished second but won the country's cup for the third time in their history and also secured victory in the Super Cup. However, the club was later accused of irregularities in player transfers and was forcibly demoted. Although they successfully appealed the decision, they lost their top-tier status in 2018. Fortunately, they managed to make a comeback and secured the fifth position in the standings at the end of the previous season. In the summer, the Dutch even participated in the Conference League qualifiers but faced Fenerbahçe, losing both matches after defeating Hammarby and Riga. Focusing on Eredivisie, under the guidance of coach Oosting, they are delivering a commendable performance, although not without occasional setbacks. Defeating Go Ahead Eagles, they secured the fourth position.

Excelsior are having a decent season by its standards. The Red and Blacks have been in existence for over 120 years, with their achievements mainly limited to victories in the Eerste Divisie, the second-tier local division. Simultaneously, finishing in the last position in the elite league four times is a national anti-record. In general, their objectives revolve around maintaining their status. They achieved this last season, albeit securing the fifteenth spot. The current season had a fortunate start with just one defeat in the first 8 rounds. However, from mid-fall, they experienced a prolonged winless streak. Against this backdrop, a draw with VVV-Venlo, especially after coming back from 0-2 down, can be seen as a success.
Despite modest overall results, in the past decade, the Red and Blacks managed to have good matches against Twente. However, in the last season, the Pride of the East took 4 points out of 6 possible. The stronger team plays at home. We bet that Twente will win with a handicap of -1.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Twente to win with -1.5 handicap.
