We said: Sparta Rotterdam 1-1 FC Twente

The two teams could not be separated in their two previous meetings earlier this season, and another closely-fought contest could be played out in Thursday's first leg. Twente boast a stronger run of form and have won each of their last three away from home, but we believe that Sparta Rotterdam will do enough to keep themselves in the tie ahead of Sunday's reverse fixture.
