AZ W vs Twente W - Eredivisie Women

AZ W prepare to host Twente W at the home ground on September 27, 2026, with both sides eager to assert their credentials and claim a result that could define their Eredivisie Women season. That coronation came from City's £116m summer signing Elliot Anderson - and has been hotly debated in the build-up to the Manchester derby Super Sunday showdown at Old Trafford, which you can watch live on Sky Sports.

In the Eredivisie Women table, AZ W currently occupy 2nd and Twente W sit 1st, and the context adds genuine weight to what is already an intriguing fixture. AZ W are operating at a remarkable level, their WWWWW run and a season win rate of 100% placing them among the Eredivisie Women's very best. When a team wins 100% of their matches and posts WWWWL in their last five, as Twente W have, even the longest trips hold no fear. Goals could be in short supply or plentiful — AZ W average 2 per game to Twente W's 4.5, and that gap may dictate the rhythm of the contest. Phil Foden was handed a free role in the No 10 position behind striker Muamba, who scored in consecutive pre-season games.

Stylistically, this is a compelling matchup. AZ W favour a patient, possession-based approach, whereas Twente W are at their most dangerous when allowed to hit quickly on the counter. Speaking on his YouTube channel, he said: "If I’m Manchester United right now, I say press the green button and buy him, take him, right now.

The fixture is likely to be shaped by its key performers, with creative midfielders and clinical finishers on both sides capable of turning the game in an instant. Set-piece specialists and aerial threats on both sides mean dead-ball situations could carry outsized importance. Leeds are also looking to bring in another striker to provide cover for Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Lukas Nmecha, who both have patchy injury records.

Predicting an outright winner is no easy task given how little separates the two sides on paper. On balance, Twente W may just have enough to take all three points. A 2-4 away win would not be a shock. Whatever the outcome, the Eredivisie Women fixture promises a meaningful contest with real implications for both clubs. Fulham's Antonee Robinson could be one of those, who would likely be a cheaper alternative to Hall, who has just enjoyed a breakout season with the Magpies.
