Match Stats

The Dutch side narrowly lost to the Austrians with a 1-2 scoreline. Until the 90th minute, the scoreboard showed 2-0 in favor of Salzburg, but in stoppage time, Twente managed to score a crucial goal that could help them advance. On Friday, August 10, the team played their first match of the new Eredivisie season, securing a 2-1 away victory. Last season, Twente finished third in the Eredivisie standings, earning 69 points in 34 matches.

Notably, the club's highest achievement in the league was winning the title in the 2009/10 season. Twente has also won the KNVB Cup three times and the Johan Cruyff Shield once. In preparation for the new season, Twente played five friendly matches, drawing four and winning one.

The Austrian giants triumphed over Twente in the first leg. They dominated the match, enjoying more possession and creating more chances, with more shots on and off target. Their victory was well-deserved, though the late goal conceded was unnecessary. Salzburg began their official season earlier, having played a cup match at the end of July and two games in the Austrian Bundesliga. Salzburg won all three matches with an aggregate score of 14-3.

Last season was disappointing for Salzburg as they failed to win the Austrian championship for the first time in 11 years and finished last in their Champions League group, thus missing out on European competitions. Salzburg has since appointed a new head coach, Pepijn Lijnders, the former assistant to Jürgen Klopp at Liverpool. The team's form is excellent, with five wins in their last five matches.

Prediction: Twente WIN
