Twente
The team's tactics are distinctive, favoring possession and quick counter-attacks. The midfield duo of Rieger and Flap are good at cutting in from the flanks, and work well together in front of goal. The strikers are skillful, the core of the midfield, Steyn, has excellent ball control, and Van Bogen and his teammates on the left and right wings have a strong desire to break through. The backfield is solid in interceptions and quick in counterattacks, and the overall style is quite similar to that of the La Liga team.

Instead, they play at a slower tempo, seeking space in positional battles, and looking for breakthroughs through midfield shifts. Against a tight defense, Lazio is often difficult to break through, but against weaker opponents, it is relatively easy to win. The backline is okay in positional play, but there are hidden problems in defense after speeding up. From the strength of the lineup, Twente and Lazio are not comparable, Twente backfield counterattack is more fluent, the players are technically comprehensive, the midfield control is not inferior to the opponents, and the personal ability of the front-line players is also comparable. In view of Lazio's heavy task in the league, the UEFA Cup more than take part of the main force to play. This time, Twente is playing at home, and in terms of a flat handicap, I'm optimistic that it will be able to stay undefeated at home.
Match prediction: Twente +0.5
