Betting on Feyenoord
The two-time Europa League champions are trying to relive their golden years not only with a spectacular season in the Eredivisie, but also with a new European title for their trophy cabinet.
Arne Slot’s men head into this stellar match as leaders of the local tournament, having lost just once in 28 matches played and crushing Shakhtar in the round of 16 of the tournament by a score of 7-1 at the same venue where they will host Roma.
Speaking of Roma, Feyenoord has some unfinished business with the Italian side after their defeat in the Conference League final last season. But with their devilish scoring pace.
Feyenoord could take revenge on Roma’s solid defense. Feyenoord has scored at least two goals in five of their eight Europa League matches, and they’re currently third in the Eredivisie with 67 goals scored.
On top of that, the Dutch side has only lost one of their 21 home games in official competitions this season. In the domestic league, they’ve only conceded eight goals at home. At JefeBet, we can’t wait to see what Feyenoord has in store for us in this thrilling encounter against
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Timon Wellenreuther; Gernot Trauner, Lutsharel Geertruida, David Hancko, Quilindschy Hartman; Mats Wieffer, Orkun Kokcu, Sebastian Szymański; Oussama Idrissi, Santiago Giménez, Igor Paixao.
Betting on Roma
José Mourinho’s Roma team is back in the final stages of a European championship after winning the Conference League last season.
Currently fighting for a Champions League spot in Serie A, Roma has overcome some tough opponents in the previous rounds thanks to their rock-solid defense and clinical finishing.
After losing 1-0 in their away match against Salzburg, Roma bounced back with a 2-0 victory at home in the round of 16 playoffs. They then faced off against Real Sociedad, winning 2-0 in Rome and drawing 0-0 in Spain.
Overall, Roma boasts the fourth-best defensive record in Serie A, conceding only 26 goals and not conceding in eight of their last 14 league games.
However, their strong defense hasn’t translated as well on the road. In the Italian league, they’ve only won one of their last five away matches, and in the five Europa League away games they’ve played this season, they’ve only managed to win once.
Probable lineup (3-4-2-1): Rui Patrício; Chris Smalling, Diego Llorente, Gianluca Mancini; Leonardo Spinazzola, Georginio Wijnaldum, Nicola Zalewski, Bryan Cristante; Paulo Dybala, Stephan El Shaarawy; Tammy Abraham.
JefeBet Prediction
The typically hostile atmosphere at the Feyernood stadium, coupled with the Dutch side’s thirst for revenge for the defeat in the Conference League final that is still simmering in the air, is a great incentive for a victory on Thursday.
Roma’s defense has proven to be on par with the best teams in Europe, but away from home they have had some problems and Feyenoord is a club that knows very well how to take advantage of their home ground.
In the whole campaign, they have only one defeat in front of their fans, and they have scored seven goals against Shakhtar, in the second leg of the round of 16, and five against Waalwijk in the last Eredivisie match.
For their part, Roma have failed to score more than one goal in their last five Serie A matches on the road, while against Salzburg and Real Sociedad they failed to score on the road.
Prediction: Feyenoord to win (FEY 2 – ROM 1).
