Thursday’s Europa League schedule will feature a rematch of last year’s Conference Finals. Dutch Feyenoord will welcome AS Rome in Rotterdam, what to expect from the match and what to bet on?
Feyenoord have been on a roll in the league and have built up a surprising eight-point lead at the top of the table. Across all competitions, they have won five of their last six games and have scored eight times in a row in the Eredivisie.
The Roman side, on the other hand, has not been in such form. It has won only two of its last five games, yet it is third in the Serie A table, which guarantees the Champions League. They have a two-point lead over fifth-placed Inter Milan.
Feyenoord’s key figures
The home side rely on Turkish central midfielder Orkun Kökcü, the team captain has netted 12 goals and assisted five times. Twenty-one-year-old Mexican forward Santiago Gimenez boasts an 18+4 record.
AS key figures
Luca Pellegrini has long been the visitors’ midfielder, with the Italian international netting five goals and assisting eight times. Qatar’s Argentine world champion Paulo Dybala has netted 14 goals and assisted eight.
Feyenoord also relies on a solid defence thanks to ex-Spartan David Hanck, with 27 goals scored, the best in the Netherlands. It has only scored more than once twice in the last nine occasions.
In addition, AS doesn’t hit it twice in attack. He has struck more than once in only one of the last four games. The deteriorating form of the killer Tammy Abraham is evident, the Wolves have the worst attack of the top 7 in Serie A.
Considering Feyenoord’s reliable defense, the atmosphere factor at De Kuip Arena and the Romans’ shooting woes, I think Rotterdam will get revenge for last year’s final and beat their opponents at home.
