FC Twente will seek to overturn their first-leg deficit when they host Red Bull Salzburg on Tuesday in the Champions League's third qualifying round. After losing 2-1 in Salzburg, Twente needs a strong performance at De Grolsch Veste to progress to the playoffs, where they would be just one step away from the revamped group stage.

Twente's hopes were kept alive by a late goal from Michel Vlap, whose 90th-minute free kick in the first leg reduced their deficit to just one goal. Despite trailing to a brace from Maurits Kjaergaard, Vlap's strike offers Twente a chance to stage a comeback on home soil. The Tukkers finished third in the Eredivisie last season, securing their place in the Champions League qualifiers, and they began their domestic campaign with a 2-1 victory over NEC Nijmegen, where summer signing Sam Lammers opened the scoring. Now, Twente aims to inch closer to their first Champions League appearance in 14 years, though even if they overcome Salzburg, a tough playoff against either Rangers or Dynamo Kyiv awaits.

Salzburg, regulars in Europe's elite competition over the past decade, were eliminated in the group stage last season, finishing behind Real Sociedad, Benfica, and Inter Milan. Under new management this season, following the departure of Gerhard Struber and the arrival of former Liverpool assistant Pep Lijnders, Salzburg is keen to reassert their dominance. After losing the Austrian title to Sturm Graz on the final day last season, Salzburg has bounced back with an unbeaten pre-season, a successful Austrian Cup run, and victories in their opening league fixtures, including a 3-2 win over Grazer AK and a 5-1 thrashing of Blau-Weiss Linz. Salzburg's form and experience position them as favorites to advance, especially after their first-leg triumph.

For Twente, manager Joseph Oosting rested Ricky van Wolfswinkel in their weekend league match, but the captain is expected to return to lead the attack on Tuesday. Sem Steijn, Twente's top scorer last season, will likely support him. Mees Hilgers, returning from suspension, should bolster the defense, but Michal Sadilek remains sidelined with an injury. Salzburg, meanwhile, will be without several key players, including Karim Konate, who is out with a knee injury, and recent departures Luka Sucic and Strahinja Pavlovic. In Konate's absence, Petar Ratkov is expected to lead the line, supported by young talent Oscar Gloukh.

With their superior European experience, Salzburg is expected to handle the pressure in Enschede, utilizing their counter-attacking prowess to capitalize on Twente's need to chase goals.

特温特将在周二的欧冠资格赛第三轮主场迎战萨尔茨堡红牛队，以扭转首回合落后的局面。在1 - 2输给萨尔茨堡之后，特温特需要在德格罗夫施韦斯特球场有一场强劲的表现才能晋级季后赛，这样他们就离晋级小组赛只有一步之遥了。

特温特的希望被米歇尔·弗拉普(Michel Vlap)最后时刻的进球所保持，他在首回合比赛第90分钟的任意球将他们的差距缩小到只有一球。尽管落后于贾尔加德的两粒进球，弗拉普的进球为特温特提供了一个在本土卷土重来的机会。上个赛季，图克斯队在荷甲联赛中排名第三，确保了他们在欧冠预选赛中的席位，他们以2-1战胜NEC奈梅亨开始了他们的国内赛季，夏季签约的萨姆·拉默斯在比赛中首开纪录。现在，特温特的目标是14年来第一次参加欧冠联赛，尽管即使他们战胜萨尔茨堡，等待他们的是一场艰难的季后赛，对阵流浪者或基辅迪纳摩。

在过去的十年里，萨尔茨堡一直是欧洲顶级联赛的常客，但在上个赛季的小组赛中被淘汰，落后于皇家社会、本菲卡和国际米兰。在新教练的带领下，随着格哈德·斯特鲁伯的离开和前利物浦助教佩普·利金德斯的到来，萨尔茨堡渴望重新确立他们的统治地位。在上赛季的最后一天输给格拉茨Sturm之后，萨尔茨堡已经恢复了赛季前的不败，奥地利杯的成功，以及联赛首场比赛的胜利，包括3-2战胜格拉茨AK和5-1大胜Blau-Weiss Linz。萨尔茨堡的状态和经验使他们成为晋级的热门，尤其是在他们首回合的胜利之后。

对于特温特来说，主教练约瑟夫·乌斯廷在周末的联赛中让里基·范·沃尔夫斯温克尔休息，但这位队长有望在周二的比赛中回来领导进攻。上赛季特温特的头号射手塞姆·施泰因很可能会支持他。停赛归来的米斯·希尔格斯应该会加强防守，但迈克尔·萨迪莱克仍然因伤缺阵。与此同时，萨尔茨堡将失去几名关键球员，包括因膝伤缺阵的科纳特，以及最近离开的卢卡·苏西奇和斯特拉辛亚·巴甫洛维奇。在科纳特缺席的情况下，拉特科夫有望在年轻天才奥斯卡·格鲁克的支持下领衔锋线。

凭借出色的欧洲经验，萨尔茨堡有望在恩斯赫德处理压力，利用他们的反击能力来利用特温特追逐进球的需要。
