Go Ahead Eagles vs Twente Predictions and Betting Tips | January 15th 2025

Go Ahead Eagles will host Twente at De Adelaarshorst on Wednesday in the round of 16 of the 2024-25 KNVB Beker campaign. The match has the potential of a good cup clash between two closely matched teams in equally good form.

GA Eagles narrowly qualified for this round through a penalty shootout win after a 1-1 draw with Sparta Rotterdam in normal time. The hosts, who currently sit in seventh place in the Eredivisie, were knocked out in a 2-1 loss to NEC Nijmegen at this stage of last season's cup campaign and will fancy their chances of going a step further this mid-week.

Twente, on the other hand, were knocked out of the domestic cup last season in the second round for the second consecutive year but have qualified for this season's round of 16 after beating Tweede Divisie side Katwijk 3-2 in the last round. The visitors are currently six points clear of Wednesday's hosts in the league but are well aware of the threat they pose heading into the match.

Go Ahead Eagles vs Twente Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• Wednesday will mark the 69th meeting between the two sides. GA Eagles have won only 16 of their previous meetings, and 14 have ended in draws while Twente have won the remaining 38.
• The hosts have won just three of the last 10 competitive meetings between the two teams but have only failed to score in one of those matches.
• Twente have won each of the three most recent meetings, with GA Eagles scoring three goals in each game.
• GA Eagles's highest-ever finish in the domestic cup was as runners-up in the 1964-65 season.

Go Ahead Eagles vs Twente Prediction

GA Eagles will have to be at their best to get the win against a very closely-matched side. The hosts will likely hope to capitalize on their home advantage, having lost only two home games all season.

Twente have slightly better defensive and offensive records than their hosts in the Eredivisie this season. They have, however, struggled for results on the road of late and could see their cup tie decided on penalties.
