2.19Tip and bets
Twente failed to get past Salzburg in the Champions League qualification, and gave a lot of energy in the last match against the Bulls. Sparta will certainly try to take advantage of this and will clearly be active in attack, but Twente also plays openly and effectively – an exchange of goals is almost inevitable.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Betting Tip - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.70
Bet on the outcome
Twente spent a lot of energy in the confrontation with Salzburg, but at the same time showed that they are in excellent shape and have a wide and high-quality reserve. It is obvious that the Tukkers will be looking to get a second win in a row and it is unlikely that Sparta has a chance to break a series of nine matches without a win over an opponent.
Bet - Asian handicap (-1) on Twente. This bet is offered for 1.79
