We said: FC Twente 0-2 Ajax

Twente will be a threat to Ajax in this affair and have the ability to knock their visitors out of the KNVB Cup on Thursday. However, we believe that Ajax's attacking style and rejuvenated potency in front of goal will be too much in the end for Twente to be able to cope with, and that they will eventually break down the hosts.
