FC Twente faces a significant challenge in the Conference League playoffs. The club must turn the 0-1 home defeat from the first match against Qarabag FK into a victory in Baku to advance to the main tournament.

The match is scheduled for Thursday at 18:15 local time, fifteen minutes later than originally planned due to severe weather over Baku, according to reports from Voetbal International. This delay has affected the kickoff time.

FC Twente, under the guidance of coach Younes Taha, is working to motivate the team for a comeback after the previous defeat. The squad hopes that creativity and perseverance will help them overcome the deficit.
