RAALTE, Netherlands (Interstat) — A classic David vs. Goliath matchup is set for the KNVB Beker Women on Thursday as amateur side RKSV Rohda Raalte hosts professional powerhouse FC Twente ’65.

The fixture presents a stark contrast in early-season form. Host Rohda Raalte enters the cup tie with momentum, boasting a perfect 2-0-0 record in this competition following a 1-0 victory over SV DVS ’33 on Sept. 23 and a 4-1 win against HVV Hollandia on Sept. 2. Across all competitions, the club holds an identical 2-0-0 mark.

FC Twente, a dominant force in the Dutch women’s game, has yet to begin its competitive season. The club’s official record in all competitions for the 2025-26 campaign stands at 0-0-0, with its last official match dating to the previous season. The team will rely on its superior talent and depth to shake off any early rust.

Despite the disparity in recent match action, statistical models favor the visiting professionals. The Interstat game simulator projects a narrow 1-0 victory for FC Twente ’65.

The match will be played at Rohda Raalte’s home ground on Oct. 30, 2025. The winner will advance to the next round of the KNVB Beker, the premier domestic cup competition in Dutch football organized by the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB).
