- Twente are favourites to get another win in what could be a lively UEFA Conference League qualifier.
- FC Twente are the most likely winner.
- DAC are a long shot in the match result market but are in good form at home.
Dutch dominance on the line in Slovakia
FC Twente are a 1.42 favourite with a 7.0 home side DAC Dunajska on Thursday's UEFA Conference League qualifying clash at MOL Arena. The draw is priced at 4.4.
Robert Klauss' side play high-tempo football, pressing hard and looking to get men forward on the break in numbers. Ammar Ramadan is the main danger man with two goals in three UEFA Conference League qualifiers and three of his side's last eight strikes in all competitions.
Twente boss John van den Brom has his men set up more pragmatically, sitting compact and deep in possession, but using the width and pace of their forwards to exploit gaps when their opponents push on. Daan Rots has brought them an instant lift up top with one in one UEFA Conference League qualifier so far while Sondre Oerjasaeter has four assists in Twente's last five matches.
Dutch side should have the edge
This is a clash of styles that should be tasty with DAC set up to create chaos and Twente intent on picking their way through the confusion. The hosts will be desperate to change the momentum of the tie and are actually in good overall form, having won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five.
Their last three results make for interesting reading: they began with a 3-0 win at FK Velez Mostar, then beat FC Dukla Banska Bystrica 2-0 at home before Twente blew them away in a 6-0 win that looks likely to be the difference between the two sides.
Twente have been solid but unspectacular away from home, registering two wins, a draw and two defeats in their last five, and their overall form in all competitions over the past 10 matches is five wins, two draws and three defeats.
Goals the best way to play it
That is similar to DAC's overall record of 5-2-3 across their previous 10 so it is the context of the fixture that should ensure Twente prevail rather than the form of the two clubs. The Dutch side have the experience and the quality to close out this one, but with goals on the horizon we'll take Over 2.5 at 1.5 and Both Teams To Score - Yes at 1.65.
