Go Ahead Eagles v FC Twente: play-off push meets mid-table momentum | OneFootball

Go Ahead Eagles host FC Twente in the Eredivisie on Sunday, 8 March 2026 at De Adelaarshorst, with the visitors chasing European play-off spots and the hosts looking to build on recent league wins.

Go Ahead Eagles and FC Twente meet after the Enschede side won the reverse fixture 2-0 in December. FC Twente arrive fifth, while the Deventer club sit 12th.

The Supereagles have hit form, following defeats to Heerenveen and Feyenoord with a 4-0 home win over Heracles and a 1-0 victory at Excelsior. FC Twente's league run is strong too: three wins and a draw in their last four, capped by a 2-0 success against Feyenoord.

Go Ahead Eagles list defenders Gerrit Nauber, Joris Kramer and Pim Saathof, plus midfielder Robbin Weijenberg, as injured. FC Twente report defender Mees Hilgers sidelined.

FC Twente's season profile points to control and balance: 41 goals scored, only 26 conceded, and 55% average possession. Ricky van Wolfswinkel has eight league goals, with Daan Rots on seven. For the hosts, Mathis Suray leads with nine league goals, while Jakob Breum has supplied the assists. The Supereagles have attempted 431 open-play crosses with 19.49% accuracy and seven headed goals, a route that could test Twente's back line, though the visitors have been secure and clinical, including seven penalties converted.

A home win would take the Supereagles to 32 points and could pull them towards the top half. FC Twente would reach 44 points with victory, strengthening their grip on the European play-off places.
