Our Verdict
FC Twente's home win at 1.20 stands out as the clear selection. Four wins from five recent outings, including that impressive scalp over PSV Eindhoven, underline the Dutch side's quality, while Thun have managed just one victory in their last five. The Swiss outfit's away form looks particularly fragile, with three defeats in that run. Backing over 2.5 goals at 1.33 adds further value; Twente have averaged over two goals per match recently, and Thun's defensive record on the road offers little reassurance for the visitors.
