FC Twente v Lazio

Twente vs Lazio Preview

FC Twente were involved in yet another stalemate over the weekend in the Dutch Eredivisie when the hosts gained a point in a 2-2 draw away from home at RKC Waalwijk, while Lazio's previously impressive four-match winning streak was brought to an end by Juventus as they lost 1-0 to the Old Lady.

Twente have now drawn three out of their last five games overall which includes back-to-back stalemates in the early stages of this Europa League campaign where they drew 1-1 away from home at Manchester United along with another 1-1 stalemate at home with Turkish side Fenerbahce.

Nevertheless, the bigger picture shows FC Twente have suffered just three defeats within their last 18 matches in all competitions, all of which have been inflicted upon Joseph Oosting's side on their travels along with collecting six wins and also being involved in no fewer than nine draws as well.

The possibility of another draw here on matchday 3 against Lazio cannot be ruled out as well as the possibility of both teams scoring as well, as eight of these nine draws have also resulted in both teams hitting the back of the net.

Twente look well placed to get something out of this upcoming encounter though at their De Grolsch Veste as the Dutch hosts are unbeaten in each of their last 13 home games.

Lazio are amongst one of the frontrunners in this season's Europa League and indeed actually sit top of the early Europa League table having gained maximum points after their opening two games in this competition thanks to wins achieved over Dinamo Kiev and Nice respectively.

Despite being handed a 1-0 loss away from home at Juventus in the Italian top flight last weekend, Lazio will still be in confident mood as they prepare for this upcoming trip to the Netherlands as the visitors had previously racked up four wins on the trot in all competitions.

These wins included the aforementioned victories in the Europa League as well as wins in the domestic top flight against the likes of Torino 3-2 away from home along with a 2-1 home win against Empoli, so Marco Baroni's side still look a threat ahead of this matchday 3 encounter.

However, recent results away from home have been a little disappointing where Lazio have been concerned as the Italian visitors have been handed three defeats within their last five outings on the road, losing at the hands of Udinese, Fiorentina and Juventus respectively, so they may have to settle for a point here at best.
