H2H: Den Haag vs Twente – Prediction (Eredivisie

H2H: Den Haag v Twente – Comparison.

Den Haag goalkeeper Luuk Koopmans made up for questionable keeping with a towering header (and 94th-minute equaliser) in a recent cup game here. Twente’s Václav Černý and Danilo are the Eredivisie’s most potent duo – combining for five goals; the latter scored their last two away openers. Twente have scored the opening goal in all seven of their league games so far, leading at HT in four.

Den Haag Insights.

Saturday’s Eredivisie action gets underway with the 90th Eredivisie clash between ADO Den Haag and Twente. The hosts trail the all-time H2Hs quite significantly (W19, D24, L46), and that could yet get worse here as manager Aleksandr Ranković is yet to see his side keep a clean sheet ahead of his ninth game in charge (W1, D2, L5 in 90 minutes). The ‘Storks’ are enduring a worse seven-game start than in nine of their last ten top-flight campaigns and have conceded more goals this term (2.29 per-match on average) than in any of those seasons. Topically, they are yet to win at home (D1, L2) and were trailing by a 1-0 scoreline at HT in all three games, shipping in both halves of two.

Zwolle Insights.

Conversely, visiting Twente have lost just one of their opening seven league games (W4, D2, L1) and are enjoying a better seven-game start than in seven of their last nine top-flight campaigns. Moreover, manager Ron Jans has a positive H2H record against Den Haag (W15, D4, L5), with his side scoring 2+ goals in each of the last six such games. Whilst Twente’s sole defeat came away from home, it was somewhat expected against a tough Utrecht side. This, however, is Twente’s first away league game as favourites this season, a tag they held once last term and won (3-2 vs Sittard). A quick start could be on the cards, as Twente scored within five minutes in each of their three away league games so far.
