Lazio have come flying out the traps in the UEFA Europa League and will be looking for a third successive victory when they make the trip to the Netherlands to face Twente.
I tipped the Serie A giants to get off to a flier against a poor Dynamo Kiev side and they duly delivered with a 3-0 win that was sealed by half-time. French side Nice were then swept aside in Rome with a 4-1 win as a card bet landed for me as well.
That was part of a four-game winning run in all competitions but it ended on Saturday as Lazio lost 1-0 away to Juventus in Serie A. They will be desperate to bounce back with a win here but it won't be easy against a dangerous Twente side.
The Dutch side upset the odds by claiming a deserved draw at Old Trafford on matchday one then claimed another stalemate at home to Jose Mourinho's Fenerbache.
That proved they can compete with sides who boast much bigger budgets and Twente have lost just three of their 13 games in all competitions this season.
How the bookies view it: Lazio just edge it
This is a tough one to call, with Betano making Lazio only marginal favourites at 6/4. Twente are 8/5 for their first Europa League win this term and the draw pays 9/4.
Head to head: Serie A giants a little out of Dutch
These sides have never faced off before but Lazio don't have the greatest of records against Dutch opposition. They've only won four of their 12 clashes, with six defeats and two draws.
Players to watch: Lammers time
Rangers might be regretting letting Sam Lammers go after watching him score Twente's equaliser at Old Trafford while their own strikers struggle. The Dutchman is on four goals for the season and is 19/10 at Betano to add to that tally here.
Mattia Zaccagni has already netted three times for Lazio this season and the midfielder is on penalty duty for him. That makes him a good option for anytime scorer at 4/1 with Bet365.
Probable line-ups
Twente look set to be without Daan Rots, Younes Taha and Michal Sadilek again. Manuel Lazzari is missing for Lazio but boss Marco Baroni might freshen things up a bit after the loss to Juventus.
Twente: Unnerstall, Hilgers, van Rooij, Salah-Eddine, Bruns, van Bergen, Regeer, van Wolfswinkel, Steijn, Vlap, Lammers.
Lazio: Provedel, Pellegrini, Patric, Gila, Marusic, Vecino, Rovella, Guendouzi, Pedro, Zaccagni, Castellanos.
Anything else catch the eye?
Both teams to score has landed in four of the last five games for Twente and three of the last four for Lazio so it bodes well for an entertaining encounter. BTTS pays just 13/20 here at Betano but adding on over 2.5 goals boosts the odds to 11/10 at Bet365.
Lazio's Europa League games have been pretty stormy so far, with two reds and eight yellows across the two matches. That suggests going for a high number of booking points stands a good chance once that market is priced up.
Bet365 do have prices on certain players going into the book. Twente's Max Bruns was booked at Old Trafford and he's 4/1 for another card here while Lazio's Nicolo Rovella is 3/1 to pick up his fourth card this term.
