Team Analysis
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer takes his Besiktas side to the Netherlands where they will face FC Twente at De Grolsch Veste in a crucial Europa League contest on Thursday night. Both teams enter their final League Phase fixture in danger of failing to qualify for the knockout rounds and needing a victory to secure a place in the top 24.

After failing to win any of their opening six League Phase matches, drawing four and losing two, FC Twente picked up three valuable points and their first-ever victory in Sweden when they beat Malmo by a 3-2 scoreline last week. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's reign as Besiktas boss began with an emphatic 4-1 home victory over Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League last week, a much-needed result that has kept their hopes of securing a last-16 playoff place alive.

Odds Analysis
Thursday's contest will see the team who has drawn the most matches (Twente - four) come up against a Besiktas side who are one of only four teams that are yet to draw in this season's Europa League. Indeed, it is difficult to predict which way this one will go between two evenly-matched teams. Twente must push for a win on home soil, but we are backing Besiktas to claim at least a share of the spoils in the Netherlands.

Pick: FC Twente
