The starting line-ups for each team are from their last match in this tournament. Twente In the previous round, Joseph Oosting's charges played out a draw with Turkish Fenerbahçe at home (1:1). As a result, Twente played to the same scoreline for the second consecutive time in the Europa League and secured two points, placing them in the playoff zone of the tournament table. - The team has not lost in the last ten home matches in the Dutch championship (8 wins, 2 draws). - The club scored a maximum of twice in 7 out of 9 previous home games in this tournament. - No more than two goals were scored in 6 out of the last 8 home matches of Twente in the domestic championship. Lazio Marco Baroni's men confidently defeated French Nice at home (4:1) in the last round. Consequently, for the first time since 2004, the Romans have achieved two consecutive major victories in regular time in Europe's second most prestigious club tournament. Six points and a good goal difference (+6) allow Lazio to top the tournament table. Defender Manuel Lazzari will miss the game due to injury. - The club did not win in regular time in 11 out of the last 13 away matches in the Europa League (2 draws, 9 losses). - At least one of the opponents did not score in 90 minutes in 6 out of 9 previous away games of the team in the Europa League. - The Romans did not concede more than one goal in regular time in 5 out of the last 6 matches in the Europa League. Twente vs. Lazio: match prediction The Dutch have not featured in the two most prestigious European cups for a long time, but they have shown themselves well at the start of the current Europa League campaign. I would particularly highlight the team's confident defensive play: against strong and far more experienced Manchester United and Fenerbahçe, Joseph Oosting's charges conceded only one goal each. And in the Dutch championship, Twente has not allowed its opponents to score more than once in 12 out of the last 13 home encounters. Lazio, although starting the current Europa League campaign with high-scoring games, usually struggles to score in away matches in this tournament. In 10 out of the last 13 away matches in the Europa League, the Romans did not score more than one goal in regular time, and on six occasions during this period, they failed to breach the opposition's defense. I think Marco Baroni's charges will find it more challenging to show their attacking prowess this time than in the previous two Europa League encounters. My prediction: "Lazio under 1.5 goals" with odds of 1.55. Author: Dmitry Shchurko
