The action continues in the UEFA Europa League as FC Twente and Union Saint-Gilloise lock horns at De Grolsch Veste on Wednesday. Both sides have stumbled into the campaign and will head into the midweek clash looking to secure their first win.
Twente moved into fifth place in the Dutch Eredivisie standings as they picked up a 4-2 victory over Fortuna Sittard at the Fortuna Stadium last weekend.
Head coach Joseph Oosting will hope that result can serve as a springboard for a fine run of results in the Europa League, where they have failed to win their opening four matches.
Twente have picked up three points from a possible 12 in the Europa League to sit 27th in the table, one point and three places above Wednesday’s visitors.

Elsewhere, Union Saint-Gilloise were denied consecutive competitive wins for the first time since May as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Oud-Heverlee Leuven in the Belgian Jupiler League last time out.
However, with that result, Sébastien Pocognoli’s men have gone five straight games without defeat in all competitions, claiming two wins and three draws since October’s 3-1 loss to Cercle Brugge.
While Saint-Gilloise will be looking to get up and running in the Europa League on Wednesday, results away from home offer little optimism as they have managed just one win in their 12 away matches this season.
