Prediction: 1-2
Twente
Twente will be aiming to defend their two-goal lead in the tie with Riga FC when the two sides meet at Skonto stadions on Thursday evening. The Reds showcased their quality in the first leg, but head coach Joseph Oosting must warn his men against complacency. A man to watch in the Dutch team will be experienced forward Ricky van Wolfswinkel, who returns to the starting XI after scoring a brace in a 4-1 win over Almere City, whilst defender Gijs Smal remains in the recovery room.
The Latvians, on the other hand, will have a mountain to climb in the reverse fixture and seeing that Twente should have a number of opportunities to score on the break, we are tempted to put our money on the Eredivisie side. Both Antonijs Cernomordijs and Ngonda Muzinga are one yellow card away from suspension, speaking of the home team.
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.
