Twente will welcome Besiktas for matchday eight of the Europa League. This match finds Twente in 26th spot in the league phase, two places behind Besiktas. Below is our preview and prediction of the match.
Both teams will be eyeing a win here to finish in the top 24 and head to the play-offs. Twente must win here to have any chance of advancing.
Sitting two points behind Besiktas, this is a golden chance for Twente, who will be playing this key game at home. The hosts only registered their first win on matchday seven, beating Malmo 3-2 away from home.
That moved them to seven points and Twente still, aren’t convincing, with back-to-back home defeats in Europa League.
Besiktas carry into this game a seven-match unbeaten run and will be banking on that to lift them. The Turkish side has three wins in that run, following their 1-1 draw with Antalyaspor last weekend.
Occupying the 24th spot, Besiktas will be able to advance to the knockout play-offs with a win here. They rose from two straight losses to beat Athletic Bilbao 4-1 in their last match in this competition.
That was a shocker, coming right after defeats from Bodo/Glimt and Maccabi Tel Aviv. Their away form in this competition is, however, really poor, the team winning only twice in 12 outings.

Our Twente vs Besiktas Istanbul Prediction
While they will be playing at home, odds are heavily stacked against Twente in this match. They haven't won any of their last seven Europa League matches at home. The last two home matches in this competition ended in defeats and they’ll be under immense pressure here.
Besiktas on the other hand, have done fairly better than their hosts in their recent matches. The visitors haven't tasted defeat in their last seven matches, and meet a Twente side struggling. Our prediction for Twente v Besiktas will be: Besiktas wins the match.
