Betting Tip
There were few obviously weak opponents in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League. It is not certain that Twente would have got past Tromso, who were also knocked out. They themselves went out against experienced European campaigners Ferencvaros, who played on the counter-attack away from home and then continued to finish off the Dutch side in Budapest. The 2:2 draw in the return leg is deceptive: as late as the 80th minute, the score was 2:0 to the hosts, who had been playing with ten men since the 34th minute. Clearly, it is hard to compare the leaders of Hungarian club football with one of Slovakia's mid-ranking clubs. Twente will certainly have the ball and will stretch the visitors' defence, whether through the flanks, the presence of target man Wout Weghorst or set pieces. The main question is — when will the Tukkers score?
Over the previous four seasons, DAC 1904 finished as the main challengers to Slovan Bratislava in the Slovak First League three times. It is practically impossible for them to aim any higher right now. The 2025/26 season also fell into that category. So the team from Dunajska Streda have enough experience of European qualifying. This year, the yellow and blues have made progress: unlike in the previous two editions, they were not knocked out by their first opponents. Bosnian side Velez were beaten almost too easily — 1:0 at home and then 3:0 away. But Twente should at least be measured against FCSB in the 2022/23 season, when the Romanian side won both meetings 1:0.
An advantage in possession and shots does not yet mean that Twente will necessarily win easily. There will be no rout here. In this context, DAC 1904 with a handicap (+2.5) looks a good option, as it would cover even a heavy scoreline.
