- Competition: Champions League qualifications
- Date: Tuesday, 13th August 2024
- Kickoff: 18:00 UK / 19:00 CEST
- Venue: De Grolsch Veste (Enschede)
In European football, the best leagues always start in August, but that is also time for the Champions League qualifications. Two of the teams that hope for a spot in the elite football competition are Twente and Salzburg. Last Tuesday, they met in Austria, and in that match, the home side won 2-1. The rematch will be played at De Grolsch Veste in Enschede, and both sides will certainly look at that as a good opportunity to secure the next round of the Champions League qualifications.
Last season, Twente surprisingly finished third on the table and secured Champions League qualifications. In Dutch football, Ajax, PSV, and Feyenoord dominate, so this is a rare opportunity for Twente to make their debut appearance in the best European competition. The team from Enschede played only two games in the 2024/25 season so far. After a 2-1 loss in Salzburg, they opened Eredivisie with a 2-1 win on the road against Nijmegen.
Last season, Salzburg lost the title in the Austrian Bundesliga to Sturm Graz, so they had to secure their spot in the Champions League through qualifications. Salzburg have an impressive start to the new season with four wins in four matches in all competitions. In the previous game, they won 5-1 at home against BW Linz.
Twente vs Salzburg pick: Over 2.5 goals
In the first leg between Twente and Salzburg, the Austrian team won 2-1. Salzburg is probably the better side, but what is more important for us is that both teams are impressive attacking teams, so we should see three or more goals in the second leg.

Twente team news
After a win against NEC Nijmegen, Twente's head coach Jens Oosting was very satisfied. He said, "It is very nice that you start the competition with a win. That is what we wanted and that is the most important thing for me. And later we will sit down with the staff and prepare for the match on Tuesday. It is clear that it is nice when you win away at NEC."
Michal Sadilek is injured, but he could recover on time to play on Tuesday as his status is currently questionable.

Salzburg team news
Salzburg won 5-1 against BW Linz for the weekend, and the head coach, Pepijn Lijnders, was thrilled about his team's performance. He said, "I came here to entertain. And I'm here so we can set up great attacks and create chances. It's great to see that, even with a few changes in the starting line-up, we come out like this. Everything worked and the team is quickly adopting the style."
