Command Analysis

FC Twente

Current form
Twente made it to the playoffs only due to the powerful ending of the main stage. In the last two rounds, Joseph Oosting's team won a difficult 3-2 away victory over Malmo, and then beat Besiktas at home (1-0). As a result, with 10 points scored, the team finished in 23rd place and, only thanks to the difference between goals scored and conceded, was ahead of several rivals with the same number of points. After intense matches in the European Cup, Twente failed to win in two rounds in a row in the Eredivisie – draws with the Go Ahead Eagles (2:2) and Heerenveen (3:3). In the national championship standings, the team ranks only sixth.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lammers and Taha will not play today due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- At least three goals have been scored in four of Twente's last five matches.
- Twente has not lost in the Europa League in four of the previous five matches.
Approximate line–up: Unnerstall - van Roy, Lagerbilke, Bruns, Kuipers – Sadilek, Stein, Vlaprots, van Wolfswinkel, Lutyef.

Bodoe/Glimt

Current form
Unlike the upcoming opponent, Buda-Glimt had a chance to finish in the top 8 at the end of the last round - it was necessary to defeat Nice on a visit. The Norwegians opened the scoring in the second half, but did not hold the advantage and allowed the opponent to recoup. Thus, with 14 points, the team took ninth place, losing the coveted eighth place to the Rangers only by goal difference. Overall, the result of Hjetil Knutsen's team is very successful, especially considering that the last rounds had to be played without full game practice, as the Norwegian championship ended. It should be noted that Buda-Glimt suffered only one defeat on the road, when they lost to Manchester United with a score of 2:3.
Disqualifications and injuries
Vetti and Bassi will not play today due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Buda-Glimt has not won in seven of the last eight away matches in the Europa League (three draws and four defeats)
- Buda-Glimt has not scored more than one goal in six of the previous seven away games in LE
Approximate line–up: Haikin - Sjovold, Nielsen, Gundersen, Bjorkan – Evien, Berg, Saltnes – Myatt, Heg, Hauge.

10.50Tip and bets
Twente performed worse than the upcoming opponent in the general stage, only at the cost of incredible efforts at the very end of the tournament secured a place in the playoffs. Bud Glimt has been making noise in European competitions for several seasons, the Norwegians have enough experience, even without having a full-fledged game practice, they are now showing themselves well in the international arena. We think that the guests can get at least a draw today.
Our forecast is that Bud Glimt will not lose by a factor of 1.87
Bet on the total
Both teams rely on attacking in their game, especially the Norwegians, who scored 14 goals in eight rounds of the general stage, but also conceded 11 times. Twente obviously won't rely on defense on their own field either. We are waiting for a productive game.
The second bet is a total of more than three goals with a coefficient of 1.75
Betting on corners
Let's note a promising trend in angular. In seven of the last nine home matches involving Twente in the Europa League, more than nine corners were not served. Accordingly, we recommend the option for betting on statistics.
The forecast is that the total number of corners is less than 9.5 with a coefficient of 1.97
