Utrecht vs Twente Prediction (13.01.2026)

Twente are on an excellent run of 11 consecutive matches without a defeat in all competitions, with the main reason for this being their solid defensive play. It is no coincidence that in nine of their last ten matches, there have been under 2.5 goals – the team knows how to control the pace and rarely allows the matches to become open.

The situation is similar for Utrecht, albeit through a different path. After several disappointing results in the Europa League, the team has started to collect points mainly through draws in the Dutch league. Direct encounters between the two teams often follow this scenario – in eight of the last nine matches against Utrecht, there have been under 2.5 goals, and earlier in the season, their league duel ended 1:1.

When two teams rely on defensive security and rarely take unnecessary risks, especially in a cup match, a draw seems like a completely realistic outcome. Twente's form and Utrecht's tendency to share points lately point me towards this development.
