RB Salzburg enters this match fresh off a
3-2 victory over Grazer AK on Friday in their first Austrian Bundesliga away
game. Twente drew their most recent friendly match, 0-0, against Schalke. They
have not yet begun their league campaign. The clubs have already met in a
European competition, with Salzburg emerging victorious in the Intertoto Cup in
1998, after winning 5-3 overall. Only once in Europe did Twente have to contend
with Austrian resistance.
Due to injuries, Fernando, Takumu Kawamura,
and Alexander Schlager are expected to miss a few games for the hosts. The
injury of Michal Sadilek, a Czech midfielder, is a concern for the visiting
team. With Robin Propper's recent transfer to Rangers, they can no longer rely
on him as captain.
