Europa League match preview: Steaua - Twente

Written by: paulciciovan Published: 16-02 09:58:49

First game after the winter break

This will be the first competitive game for Steaua after the winter break. Fourth in the Romanian rankings, the hosts have strengthen with 5 new signings, 2 of which will be in the first lineup: right-back Dananae and center-back Chiriches. They prepared this tie in Antalya, having mixed results in the friendlies: wins over Levski Sofia (2-1), Legia Warszawa (2-1), Kuban Krasnodar (3-0) and Debreceni (1-0) and defeats with Mladá Boleslav (2-3) and Chiajna (1-4). Holding midfielder Bourceanu is suspended, while new signing Parvulescu is ineligible as he already played with Medias in this competition.

Good in attack, problems in defense

Twente have already played three competitive games this year in Eredivisie, all of them at home, trashing Waalwijk (5-0) and Groningen (4-1), but being caught on surprise by Heracles (2-3). Marc Janko have been sold to Porto and in his absence, the new puncher of the team is Luuk De Jong (17 goals in 20 rounds, 7 of which in the last 3 matches). Landzaat, Verhoek and Tiendalli are injured.

Low scoring game

I expect a close game here and not many goals. Both sides will play cautious, as both coaches have stated that the priority is not to concede. Also, the weather conditions will favour this bet, with a bad pitch and -8 degrees. These sides have already met in this competition in the 2009/10 season, with both games going Under (0-0 and 1-1), while Twente already eliminated a Romanian outfit this season, in the Champions League play-off, 2-0 and 0-0 with Vaslui.
