AZ Alkmaar and Twente meet in the KNVB Beker quarter-finals in what promises to be one of the most exciting games of this round. Therefore, our prediction leans toward a 2-2 draw. The Cheese Farmers head into this tie after a disappointing 3-1 league defeat to NEC, and the absences of Mexx Meerdink and Jordy Clasie weaken both their attacking depth and midfield stability. Their recent form remains mixed (WLDWL), and although they average 1.90 goals scored per match, the defensive output—1.30 conceded overall—highlights their inconsistency. At home, AZ’s numbers balance out (1.50 PPG, 1.00 conceded), but they will need to lift their intensity.
Twente have been in a better form, unbeaten in five (DWWDD) and collecting an impressive 2.00 points per game both home and away. Their attack has travelled well, scoring 2.33 goals per away match, while their expected goals numbers (2.46 away) underline their chance creation. Defensively, the Reds remain vulnerable on the road (1.33 conceded), but recent performances show resilience. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team.
The H2H is historically close (15–4–12), and with 74% of meetings going over 2.5 goals, a lively cup tie is expected. As 74% of H2H matches clear the line, Over 2.5 goals is our main betting tip for this Dutch Cup fixture, alongside BTTS and Over 3.5 goals.
This KNVB Cup match will be played on Tuesday 3 February 2026 at 19:00.
