DAC 1904 will need to pull off a miraculous comeback against Twente on Thursday if they want to progress to the play-off round of the 2026-27 Conference League.

The Slovakian outfit were thumped 6-0 in the first leg of this third-round qualifier at De Grolsch Veste and their European adventure this season looks like it will be ending early.

But DAC will not go down without a fight and they can at least give Twente, who are expected to field a much-changed starting XI from the home win, something to think about.

Team news

DAC 1904 are expected to remain without Andreas Gruber, who is struggling with an injury.

Given they were trounced 6-0 in the Netherlands, changes to the starting XI are anticipated with Matej Trusa, Fallou Diongue, Abdoulaye Gueye and Alioune Sylla all pushing to be involved.

Holding a six-goal advantage, Twente could make several alterations with Kristian Hlynsson, Mathias Kjolo, Lucas Vennegoor of Hesselink and Naci Unuvar all in contention to start.

Daouda Weidmann, who starred in the first leg, missed Sunday's loss to Heerenveen and may be absent for this fixture.

The stats

Twente won the first leg 6-0 in the Netherlands and there were six different scorers for the Dutch outfit in that victory.

Twente lost 1-0 at Heerenveen in their Eredivisie opener on Sunday, making it four competitive away games without a win.

DAC 1904 have won their last five competitive home games, scoring 12 times.

Prediction

With changes expected to Twente's starting XI and the possibility of concentration levels slipping given their 6-0 first-leg lead, DAC 1904 should be able to compete more seriously in the return fixture at the MOL Arena.

The Slovakian outfit will be fresher than the visitors, who were in action on Sunday when losing to Heerenveen, and the hosts know they will need to come out of the blocks quickly to stand any chance of overturning this deficit.

DAC have scored the opener in their last five home matches and Twente have conceded the first goal in their last four away games, which suggest the Eredivisie side struggle to start fixtures strongly on their travels.

While this tie is almost done and dusted, the home side can at least give the fans something to cheer about by landing the first blow in the second leg.
