- His side defend best in a mid-block and their 4-2-3-1 system can also be deployed as a 4-3-3 to good effect, so it will be a chess match when they play an FK Qarabag side that play a flexible 4-2-3-1 formation and can become a high-energy pressing team when the ball is won in transition.

Betting Insights
- Twente are favorites to win this encounter at 2.15, Qarabag are only a little bit above the 2.00 mark at 3.4, with the tie a bit of a longshot at 3.3.
- Over 2.5 goals (1.73) and Both Teams To Score (1.55) seem a better value bet for what should be a lively European night.
Prediction
- Qarabag are the sharper of the two sides at the moment and deserve to be underdogs rather than long shots.
- We will take the visitors to come through with a result in this game, but it is likely to be tight with a goal apiece rather than a cagey clash.
