Player to watch – Sem Steijn (Twente)
We may have picked Fenerbahce as our winner for this match, but this doesn’t overshadow the key player in this fixture. That being said, our man to watch is Sam Steijn. Steijn, as an attacking midfielder, has managed to score 7 goals in 6 games.
This included a huge goal to earn FC Twente a draw against Leipzig in the Champions League back in August.
