Twente vs PSV: Eredivisie Prediction (17.08.2025)

On August 17, 2025, at 15:30 CEST, as part of the second round of the Eredivisie, Twente will face PSV. It’s a top-level clash, but bookmakers clearly favor the visitors. Let’s take a look at the current form of both teams and give our prediction for the match.

Twente

The Reds finished sixth in the table last season and earned a chance to qualify for the Conference League. However, in the domestic playoff final they lost to AZ. Ahead of the new season, the club prepared actively, playing nine friendly matches. The team also had to learn to play without two key players from the starting lineup. Michal Sadílek moved to Slavia Prague, while the biggest loss was clearly the departure of Sem Steijn to Feyenoord. Moreover, the €10 million fee for last season’s top scorer seemed well below his market value.

It will be interesting to see how the team adapts without Steijn, as he contributed to half of Twente’s goals last season with 24 goals and 7 assists (31 goal involvements) out of the team’s total of 62 goals. Based on the opening round, it is clear the Reds are still struggling with finishing. They lost 0-1 to Zwolle without scoring.

PSV

It is still hard to believe that PSV managed to secure another league title. Ajax collapsed at the end of the season, and the Red and Whites took full advantage of their rival’s slip-up. PSV last lost back in March, also against Ajax. Since then, they have not made mistakes, winning every game. Including preseason matches, Peter Bosz’s men are now on a 13-match winning streak.

There were a few significant changes in the starting lineup during the transfer window, but so far this has not had much effect on the team’s results. PSV has already won the Dutch Super Cup this season and started the league campaign with a crushing 6-1 victory over Sparta Rotterdam.

Stats and Head-to-Head Record

The statistics of direct encounters are clearly in favor of PSV. Peter Bosz’s side has won the last six matches against Twente. Last season, the Red and Whites were utterly dominant, winning 6-1 at home and 3-1 away.

Prediction

For the Twente – PSV match, the prediction is in favor of the visitors. Peter Bosz’s squad is in outstanding form, and the head-to-head record also supports them. They usually handle this opponent with ease. Therefore, the best option is to bet on a PSV win at odds of 1.57.
