Cambuur sit bottom with no points and a goal difference of minus nine after three matches, shipping four goals per game. Twente arrive with a heavily rotated side missing eight regular starters, but their squad depth, including Wout Weghorst up front, should still offer too much…

Sign inCambuur host Twente at the Kooi Stadion in Leeuwarden on Sunday evening, as both sides look to build momentum in round four of the 2026 Eredivisie season. The 18:00 kick-off pits a Cambuur side eager to make home advantage count against a Twente team aiming to cement an early top‑half position.
Cambuur go into this fixture with the typical high‑energy approach that has made Leeuwarden a difficult trip in recent seasons. Manager Sjors Ultee encourages a direct, vertical style, with wide players staying high and full‑backs pushing forward to overload the flanks. That bravery can leave spaces behind, but at the Kooi Stadion the crowd often lifts a team that feeds off early pressure. In their opening home fixtures last term, Cambuur consistently scored first and will back themselves to pin Twente back if they can establish an early tempo.
Twente arrive as one of the division’s established names, having secured European qualification in multiple recent campaigns. Under head coach Joseph Oosting they blend technical midfield play with physical threat in the final third. Sem Steijn’s late runs from central areas remain a major weapon, while Daan Rots offers width and delivery from the right. Twente have consistently taken points from away matches against sides in the lower half, and their experience in managing games on the road will be tested by a motivated Cambuur.
The contest on the flanks could decide the match. Cambuur’s tendency to commit at least five players into attacking moves means Bart van Hintum and Joshua Brenet – if selected – must combine defensive discipline with quick transitions. If Cambuur’s wing‑backs pin Twente deep, the home side can work crossing angles for their central strikers. Twente’s midfield pivot, however, is adept at dropping into the back line to cover, a safety net that has frustrated energetic home starts before.
A positive result for Cambuur would provide a significant lift before a testing run of away trips, while Twente want to bank points early in the season before their continental commitments stretch the squad. Both sets of supporters will hope this round‑four meeting sets a tone for the weeks to come.
