In this Europa Conference League match, FC Twente host Thun. The two teams come from different leagues and different countries, meeting in a European cup where there are no points to take back and make up for in the league. Whoever slips up ends their journey immediately. FC Twente come into this one unbeaten in 5 straight matches, with their latest league game a 1-1 draw after they had earlier thrashed their opponents 7-0 in a friendly. As for Thun, they have just lost 2-4 in their latest league game, and lost the match before that by the same scoreline. The defence is clearly a problem when you look at the team's own accumulated stats. The pattern of play should tilt toward the hosts from the start, because FC Twente hold the ball more and create chances more frequently, clearly shown by the numbers over the last 10 matches, while Thun focus on sitting deep and waiting to counter. But if the hosts are allowed to keep pouring forward without worry, the game could end with a margin of more than one goal. What to watch after kickoff is how quickly the hosts can press until they get an early goal.
