Twente meets Zenit St. Petersburg in the second elimination round in Europa League.
Twente participated in Group A of the Champions League but didn’t manage to qualify in the top 2 spots.
The team achieved 3 draw games at home, a 2-2 wit Inter, a 1-1 with Werder Bremen and a 3-3 with Tottenham. In the away games, Twente picked up only 3 points from their victory against Werder and lost the other 2 games, leaving the team with a total of 6 points and on the 3rd spot. Twente has met a Russian team only once, Rubin Kazan, winning the game in Russia and tying the one at home 2:2. In all 6 games, Twente scored 9 games and conceded 11, leaving them with a F:A ratio of -2.

Zenit are the competition’s top scorers with 22 goals in eight games since the start of the group stage.
Zenit is also the team that has been caught the most times offside, 34 times.
While Twente played against top teams like Inter, Werder and Tottenham, Zenit is not to be underestimated. In fact I’d back Zenit in this game due to their great shape, topping the Russian Premier League, and one of the strongest teams in Europa League, the only team in the competition that achieved a clean record of 6 victories.
