Match Preview

On February 22, 2026, Eredivisie teams Twente and Groningen will meet at De Grolsch Veste for what promises to be a competitive fixture.

Twente, with a 50% win rate in their last 6 Eredivisie home matches, will host Groningen, who have struggled with a 67% loss rate in their recent 6 league encounters.

In their head-to-head history, Twente has emerged victorious in 50% of their last 6 matchups against Groningen.

Twente has shown strength at home, scoring 2 or more goals in 6 out of their last 10 home matches.

With both teams having contrasting recent forms, the upcoming game is set to provide an intriguing battle.

According to our model prediction, Twente holds a 46% probability of securing a victory in this Eredivisie showdown.

De Grolsch Veste hosts a meeting between two sides separated by four points but trending in opposite directions. Twente are seventh with 35 points from 23 matches and remain unbeaten in 18 of their last 19 league games. Groningen sit ninth on 31 points but arrive on the back of four consecutive defeats.

Twente drew 1-1 away to Telstar last time out, extending a five-match run of D-W-D-D-W. Their campaign has been built on territorial dominance. They have attempted more shots than any other Eredivisie side this season (439, an average of 18.3 per match) and conceded the fewest (230, 9.6 per match). At home they average 1.5 goals scored and just 0.92 conceded, ranking third in home defensive record.

Groningen were beaten 2-1 by Utrecht in their most recent outing. Away from home they average 1.08 goals scored and 1.42 conceded, while ranking among the top three for corners won this season (146 in total, 6.1 per game), underlining their threat from wide areas and dead-ball situations.

The last five meetings between these sides have produced two Twente wins and three draws, including a 1-1 stalemate in November. Seven of the last nine encounters featured exactly two or three goals, reinforcing the sense of a structured, tactical contest.

Twente’s territorial control and defensive structure, combined with Groningen’s fragile run of results, give the hosts the edge. Resink’s availability improves Groningen’s midfield creativity, but sustained pressure at De Grolsch Veste may prove decisive.
