Match description
Twente at home generates on average 2.12 xG and scores 1.6 goals per match with 1.0 conceded on average and 18.93 shots per game. NEC away posts 1.88 xG, scores on average 2.27 goals with a higher conversion rate of 14% and 15.67 average shots, but concedes 1.67 goals on average. In the last 5 matches Twente has 4 wins and 1 loss with 10 goals scored and 6 conceded (PPG 2.4), while NEC is 2-2-1 with 9 scored and 10 conceded (PPG 1.6). The hosts’ key advantage is defense and clean sheets: Twente concedes 1.0 goal at home and has 40% clean sheets versus only 7% clean sheets for NEC away, although the visitors are more efficient (conversion 14% vs 8%). Considering the higher home xG (2.12 vs 1.88), better PPG in the last five matches (2.4 vs 1.6) and Twente’s defensive edge at the stadium, I expect a home win.
