Twente – FC Thun Preview – Can Thun survive Enschede?
Twente vs FC Thun betting tips start with one awkward fact: the reigning Swiss champions arrive with the most porous defence in their own league. Thun have shipped 27 goals in 10 Super League games, and they open their Conference League league phase at De Grolsch Veste on Thursday 15 October 2026, kick-off 19:00 GMT.
Twente are clearly the stronger side. They beat PSV 3-2 in the Eredivisie on 20 September, and that scoreline tells you what Van den Brom’s team are about right now: they score, and they let things in. Thun’s mood is worse. Fans have been whistling the team, new coach Gian-Luca Privitelli is under pressure after taking over from Mauro Lustrinelli in the summer, and a 2-4 defeat at Zürich did nothing to calm things down. A supporters’ “disco train” is bringing the travelling fans to Enschede, which is either admirable optimism or gallows humour.
Twente – FC Thun Betting Tips
Betting Tip: Over 3.5 goals
- FC Thun have seen four or more goals in four of their last five matches
This is the bolder line, and the numbers behind it are plain: Thun have conceded 27 times in 10 league games, more than anyone in the Super League. Put that defence in front of a Twente attack that scored three against PSV and the path to four goals in total is short. Twente only need three themselves, and Thun’s habit of scoring in bursts could push the total over the line. Over 3.5 goals is our lead call.
Betting Tip: Both teams to score
- Twente have scored in each of their last five matches
- FC Thun have conceded in four of their last five matches
- Twente have conceded in three of their last five matches
Twente have scored in each of their last five matches, and Thun have found the net in three of theirs. Thun are the sort of side that will concede a few but still carry enough attacking intent to get one back, and Twente are not the tightest defence either. The 3-2 against PSV is the template. Both teams to score is the safer partner to the goals pick.

What to expect in Enschede
Expect an open game. Twente will press a nervous defence and Thun, who have no real habit of shutting games down, will not park the bus for ninety minutes. Their recent history is full of wild scorelines, from a 4-3 win at St. Gallen to the heavy qualifying defeat against Lech Poznań. If you want context on how Twente have handled European nights this season, our look at the first leg against Qarabag is a useful reference point.
The hosts have no reason to rest on a lead either. Utrecht and AZ follow in the Eredivisie, but a home league-phase game against a team in poor form is the sort of game where a side with ambitions wants goals on the board early.
