Twente preview: Hoping for important points
Just like their next opponent Malmo, Twente also have just four points in the Europa League this season and with two games left to go, they will likely need to win both of their matches to secure a spot in the knockout stages. Meanwhile, Twente enter this game in poor form, having lost three of their last four competitive games.
When it comes to team news, Younes Taha and Sam Lammers are out with injuries at the moment, while Mees Hilgers is questionable.
Predicted lineup: Unnerstall (GK), Van Rooij, Hilgers, Van Hoorenbeeck, Salah-Eddine, Regeer, Sadilek, Rots, Steijn, Vlap & Van Wolfswinkel
