A stuttering FC Twente will look to return to the win column when they face off against PEC Zwolle at De Grolsch Veste in the Eredivisie on Saturday evening.
Both these sides have made underwhelming starts to the season, with the hosts currently in 11th place with four points while the visitors are one point and two places behind them.
We say: FC Twente 3-1 PEC Zwolle
Twente have begun the season well below the level they showed last term, but the international break would have done wonders for them, as it would have allowed time for the side to get over their Champions League disappointment and refocus on getting back toward the top of the table.
Zwolle picked up their first win of the season ahead of the break, but we feel they will struggle to contain the Tukkers on their home patch in this one.

PSV Eindhoven will set out to preserve the only 100% record left in the 2024-25 Eredivisie season when NEC come visiting the Philips Stadion on Saturday afternoon.
Similarly, the away side will also head into this weekend's encounter in high spirits off the back of consecutive league victories from their last two outings.
We say: PSV Eindhoven 3-0 NEC
PSV are unstoppable at the moment, and we cannot envisage any other outcome from this one rather than a comfortable victory for the reigning champions to keep the juggernaut rolling.

Groningen have impressed over the first few weeks of the season, but this weekend's test poses a stern challenge nonetheless.
We are backing Feyenoord to come away with all three points come the end of the 90 minutes in what should be an exciting watch.
