- Competition: Europa League
- Date: Thursday, 13th February 2025
- Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
- Venue: De Grolsch Veste (Enschede)
The third position in Eredivisie last season was the most successful for Twente since returning to the strongest Dutch division. This year, the team from Enschede is slightly weaker, but they are still in contention for the Champions League qualifications spot. However, it seems that Twente's form recently slowed down as they won only two of the last six matches in all competitions (both in the Europa League). Last weekend, Twente played 3-3 on the road against Heerenveen. Although the guests played with ten players for most of the game, they were close to securing all three points, but Heerenveen's Eser Gurbuz scored an equalizer in the second half's stoppage time, and the team split the points.
Bodo/Glimt had a successful 2024 season. They won another title in the Norwegian national league, while in the Europa League, they were even close to securing a direct place into the 1/8 final. A new format of the Europa League can be challenging for the teams that used to have a longer winter break, but Bodo/Glimt, with four points in two Europa League matches in January, showed they are in solid form. As part of preparations for the game against Twente, Bodo/Glimt had a friendly against Danish Aalborg in which Kjetil Knutsen's team struggled in defense and lost 5-3.
Twente vs Bodo/Glimt pick: Over 3.5 goals
Both these teams are high-scoring. Twente scored nine goals in the last four matches, while Bodo/Glimt scored seven goals in the previous three games. We should expect at least four goals on Thursday night in Enschede.
Twente team news
After a draw in Heerenveen, Twente's head coach, Joseph Oosting, talked about the upcoming game against Bodo/Glimt. He said, "A very good team. That team is a machine; they are very disciplined in both attacking and defending. There is a lot of intensity, but we have that too. We also have an energetic team, and I think we can make a difference on the ball."
Younes Taha and Sam Lammers are injured and will not play in Thursday's tie.

Bodo/Glimt team news
Bodo/Glimt is currently in two seasons, and big changes are still possible. The most important for Bodo/Glimt is that the best player in the team, Jens Petter Hauge, signed a permanent deal with the squad after playing last year on loan from Eintracht Frankfurt. Bodo/Glimt also signed Ole Didrik Blomberg from Brann this winter.
Bodo/Glimt have some problems with missing players ahead of the game in Enschede. They will be without Daniel Bassi, Samuel Burakovsky, Syver Skeide, and Gaute Vetti.
