FC Twente vs PSV Eindhoven Prediction
Twente are one of the stronger sides in the Eredivisie outside the top three and they will be looking to keep up their bright start to the season.
PSV, on the other hand, are seeking to reclaim the title from rivals Ajax and manager Roger Schmidt will be buoyed by the return to fitness of several key players after a spate of positive COVID-19 tests were recorded in the last few weeks.
The attacking nature of both sides guarantees that there will be goals at both ends but there is very little to choose from between them.
Prediction: FC Twente 2-2 PSV Eindhoven
