Twente are clearly the stronger side in this matchup. I'm backing them with a -2 handicap — at 1.95, that's solid value for a team that should dominate from start to finish.

Viking’s trip to Stuttgart isn’t about damage limitation in the classic sense — they clearly aren’t coming to lose by three goals. The +2.5 handicap covers any defeat within two goals, a draw, or a win, and that’s exactly where I see this landing.
