Twente

Twente goes into the home game against Besiktas in 26th place, two points outside the top 24, which is just below their future opponents. A win for the Dutch side would see them through to the round of 32.

In the last round, Twente returned to the race for the playoffs. Joseph Oosting's side beat Swedish side Malmo 3-2 on the road. Two goals led the Dutch in the 64th minute and never allowed their opponents to close the gap.

Twente missed out on the final round of the Dutch championship and is fifth in the standings after 19 matches, seven points adrift of the top three with a game in hand.

Besiktas

Once again, the Istanbulians are in the top 24 of the Europa League, which means they are potential playoff participants. In theory, Besiktas could even get away with a draw against Twente in the Netherlands. According to preliminary calculations, Emre Belözoğlu's team would have ten points, which should be enough to reach the last 32.

In the last round of the Europa League, Besiktas hosted Athletic, one of the leaders of the current draw, and played perhaps their best game of the season. After the first half, the score was level, but in the second half, the Turkish team sent three unanswered goals into the gates of their powerful opponents. 4-1—Milot Rashica (twice), Rafa Silva, and João Mario scored for Besiktas.

In the Turkish league, Besiktas were held to a 1-1 draw away at Antalyaspor. The Istanbul side is sixth in the Super League standings after 20 rounds of matches, having won just eight of them. They are eight points adrift of the top three.

Expert Betting Tips

Both teams will have to fight for the result in the upcoming match, but both are weak in defense. Goals will be scored as Twente and Besiktas will have to go on the attack after conceding. Let's go for a higher goal tally, primarily as Besiktas has scored at least three goals in six of their seven Europa League matches.

Furthermore, we do not expect Besiktas to lose. The Istanbul team is superior to Twente in terms of squad size, and in such an important match, the quality of the players could come to the fore.
