Heerenveen will look to start the new Eredivisie season with an attacking statement when they welcome Twente to the Abe Lenstra Stadion. The hosts were involved in several high-scoring matches during preseason and are expected to maintain their positive, forward-thinking style of play. Heerenveen have enjoyed a strong run of form recently, winning five of their last ten matches while averaging 1.7 goals per game. They have been particularly impressive at home, collecting 2.5 points per game across their last five home fixtures and scoring 2.25 goals on average. Summer signing Dirk Proper is expected to make his official debut and could add further creativity to the midfield.
Twente, meanwhile, enter the campaign looking to recover from a disappointing finish to their preparations. They suffered a 2-1 defeat to Genk in their final warm-up match and were eliminated by Ferencvaros in the Europa League qualifiers. Despite those setbacks, Twente remain a dangerous attacking side, scoring in each of their last ten matches and averaging 1.8 goals per game. Ramiz Zerrouki has now made his move permanent, while left-back Aske Adelgaard is expected to make his debut.
Twente's away games and Heerenveen's attacking approach suggest goals at both ends. Therefore, we are tempted to bet on BTTS, alongside Over 2.5 and Over 3.5 goals (Recent meetings and team statistics point towards an open contest).
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Sunday 9 August 2026 at 15:45.
