Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
All eyes will be on Tele2 Arena in Stockholm when Hammarby and Twente face each other in the second leg of the Conference League second qualifying round. Hammarby face a difficult challenge in the reverse fixture as they need to overcome a one-goal deficit, but they should not be written off just yet. Even though all Boudah, Collander, Fjoluson, and Trawally remain in the recovery room, we predict that the hosts will find the net against Twente as they looked sharp in front of goal in a 2-1 win over Norrkoping at the weekend.
The Reds, on the other hand, should rely on counter-attacks in Thursday’s clash and, taking everything into account, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Experienced forward Ricky van Wolfswinkel is widely expected to return to Twente’s starting XI after coming off the bench in the first leg.
Highlighted Team (Twente):
Based in the city of Enschede, Twente is a Dutch football club that welcomes their rivals at De Grolsch Veste. The venue was opened on May 10, 1998, and the capacity of the stadium is 30,205 people. The club was founded in 1965 as a merger of Sportsclub Enschede and Enschedese Boys.
The Reds did remarkably well to win the Eredivisie title in the 2009/10 season, with the team finishing the process only one point clear of Dutch giants Ajax. As a result, Twente booked their place in the Champions League group stages. The Reds did well to collect six points in their group, but that did not help them make it to the last 16.
Twente are well known for their red jerseys, but they wear dark blue shirts when playing on the travels. The Reds take on Heracles Almelo in the Twentse Derby. Sander Boshchker is leading Twente’s all-time goal-scoring chart with 653 goals on his account.
