Although Feyenoord only drew with Maccabi Haifa in the first round of the European Conference League, they are doing well in the league. They are third in the table, four points behind first-placed Ajax and one game to spare.
Slavia started their European journey with a win, they beat Union Berlin at home and have lost only two points in the league so far. Like Feyenoord, it has a game to play and is second with two points behind leader Pilsen.
The home side rely on goal-scoring strikers, with both Bryan Linssen and Guus Til scoring five league goals already. Iranian Alireza Jahanbakhsh, with Premier League experience, operates on the right wing.
Ivan Schranz leads the scorers’ table with six goals (and two assists), while Jan Kuchta has only one goal less. Daniel Samek, a 17-year-old talent, boasts an impressive 3+2 record.
He has scored a total of twelve goals in the last three games for Feyenoord. The Slavic attack has also got into shape after a poor start, scoring sixteen times in the last four games.
Considering Slavia’s experience with similar matches, the width of their squad and their form, I recommend betting on them not to lose.
