Younes Taha added a fourth for Twente in the 82nd minute to put the result beyond doubt, before Ilyes Hamache pulled one back for Cambuur six minutes later to avoid a heavier margin.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Cambuur 10%, the draw 21%, Twente 69%. It finished Cambuur 1–4 Twente.
Twente's rating gap outweighs Cambuur's home ground — Twente are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and the early-season home fade on top gives Twente a clear lead. The draw at 21% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Twente at 69%?
Twente sit 405 points higher on our strength rating — 1367 to 1772. Sides with a more than 300-point rating edge on the road won 65.9% of 5,222 such games. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Cambuur's column. Across 10,823 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.8% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.0 — negative in every season since 2018. The 300 most similar past games finished 11–21–68.
Why only 69%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 69% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 21% and Cambuur at 10%.
Why is the draw only 21%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 20.5%. These teams' recent games average 3.9 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 17,046. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw. The goals environment takes 1.7 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Twente average 9 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 405 points. Our control receipt only exists between near-equals — there it moved results; across a class gap we could not measure a separate style edge, so style scores 0 here. Cambuur are newly promoted — game 4 of their first ten at this level, where our rating knows them least. Promoted sides ran below their rating in nine of the last ten seasons — 26.5% wins in their first ten games where the rating expected 30.0% (2,793 games since 2012), fading but still visible through game nineteen. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
