ENSCHEDE, Netherlands (Interstat) — Twente hosts Jong Sparta on Sunday, May 10, in an Eredivisie matchup that pits a surging home side against a struggling visitor. Twente enters the game unbeaten in its past five matches across all competitions, while Jong Sparta has lost four of its last five.

Twente’s most recent result was a 2-2 draw at AZ on May 3. Before that, the club defeated German side Osnabrück 4-2 in a friendly on May 2 and played to a 1-1 draw at NEC on April 25. Overall, Twente has won seven of its last 10 games, with only one loss in that stretch — a 1-0 defeat at Heerenveen on Feb. 25. The club also holds a 2-1 win over Ajax and a 3-1 victory over Sparta Rotterdam in recent months.

Jong Sparta, by contrast, lost 4-2 at VV Rijnsburgse Boys on Saturday, May 9. That result extended a difficult run for the reserve side, which has managed just one win in its past six matches — a 4-1 victory over Kozakken Boys on March 28. Other recent losses include a 4-1 defeat at Telstar on April 22 and a 3-0 loss at Almere City on April 18. Jong Sparta did earn a 0-0 draw at NAC Breda on April 5 but has been outscored 14-4 in its past four games.

The head-to-head series strongly favors Twente. In the most recent meeting on Sept. 19, 2025, Twente won 5-1 at Jong Sparta. That result is the only direct matchup between the clubs in recent years.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 2-1 final score in favor of Twente. The company’s ELO system gives Twente a 96.00 percent probability of winning.

Twente’s next scheduled game is at PSV on May 17. Jong Sparta faces De Treffers at home on May 16 in Tweede Divisie play, followed by an Eredivisie match against Excelsior on May 17.
