REF’s picks

FC Twente arrive in strong form and hold a clear class advantage over an Excelsior side struggling for results and goals. Backing the visitors to take all three points offers solid value given their top-four aspirations and recent defensive solidity.

1. 1Twente sit comfortably in the Eredivisie upper tier with impressive recent wins like their 2-0 victory at AZ Alkmaar.
2. 2Excelsior have dropped into a poor run, failing to score in three consecutive league matches while shipping too many at the back.
3. 3An away win is never entirely straightforward with Wout Weghorst enduring a brief scoring drought and potential squad rotation after European fixtures.
