FC Twente and Lazio return to action in the Europa League when they go head-to-head at the De Grolsch Veste on Thursday.
Twente needed a 91st-minute strike from Carel Eiting to salvage a 2-2 draw with Waalwijk in the Eredivisie on Saturday. That followed a 2-1 away defeat to Feyenoord on October 6, which snapped the Tukkers' run of three victories in the league.
Twente, who are sixth in the Eredivisie, now turn their focus to the Europa League, where they have two points from their opening two games, playing out consecutive 1-1 stalemates with Manchester United and Fenerbahce.
Lazio, meanwhile, were denied a fifth straight victory across competitions at the weekend when they fell to a 1-0 defeat to Juventus in Serie A. Marco Baroni’s men now turn their attention to the Europa League, where they have flown right out the blocks, winning their opening two matches.
Lazio kicked off their European campaign with a 3-0 away victory over Dynamo Kyiv before thrashing OGC Nice 4-1 at home.
