Twente - PEC Zwolle

FC Twente arrive at De Grolsch Veste having navigated a challenging European qualification path, most recently drawing 3-3 with DAC 1904 Dunajska Streda in the Conference League. This followed a comprehensive 6-0 victory over the same opponent earlier in August, though their Eredivisie campaign began with a 1-0 defeat to SC Heerenveen. PEC Zwolle, meanwhile, have had a less demanding recent schedule, with their sole fixture being a 0-2 home loss to Ajax on the opening matchday of the Eredivisie season.

This fixture sees the two sides meet for the first time since January 2026, when they drew 1-1 in the Eredivisie. PEC Zwolle will be without Sherel Floranus due to suspension. The expected starting lineups suggest attacking intent from FC Twente, with Wout Weghorst leading the line, while PEC Zwolle also feature a forward-heavy setup.
