Feyenoord vs Roma Prediction & Match Preview

• Feyenoord won four and drew one of the last five fixtures across competitions.
• The Dutch outfit kept five straight clean sheets despite facing AZ twice, PSV, Twente, and Sparta Rotterdam in the process.
• Roma lost four of the past five away outings across competitions.

Daniele De Rossi’s fairytale run at the start of the reign at Roma’s helm came to an end on Saturday evening. La Lupa fell 2-4 at home to Serie A leaders Inter Milan. De Rossi can be satisfied with the effort his men have put up against such a strong rival. However, Roma’s players lacked strength to compete in the second half of the affair at Stadio Olimpico.

Roma will be looking to bounce back on Thursday evening. They travel to the Netherlands to take on Feyenoord in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League knockout phase playoffs. Feyenoord have been excellent defensively of late and they head into the tie as the favourites.

Feyenoord kept their fifth consecutive clean sheet across competitions on Sunday. They saw off Sparta Rotterdam 2-0 in the city derby. A run of five successive clean sheets looks quite impressive knowing Feyenoord have faced the likes of AZ Alkmaar twice, PSV, Twente, and Sparta along the way. The win over Sparta kept Arne Slot’s troops ten points shy of PSV at the top of the Eredivisie standings.

Recent Meetings

This will be the replay of the last season’s Europa League quarterfinal Feyenoord won the first leg 1-0 at home but Roma advanced via a 4-1 victory after extra-time in the rematch.

These two sides also met each other in the UEFA Conference League final two seasons ago. Roma claimed a 1-0 win on the occasion.

Just two of five H2H encounters between these rivals produced three or more goals.

Feyenoord vs Roma Prediction

Feyenoord managed to win four and draw one of the last five games across competitions despite having a very tough schedule in the process. Slot has obviously found the right formula for defence as the Rotterdam outfit kept five successive clean sheets going into this tie. Roma, on the other side, shipped four goals in the weekend’s loss to Inter Milan. They also lost four of the previous five away fixtures in all competitions. We like the home win bet at the 1.95 odds.

None of last five matches Feyenoord played provided three or more goals. Roma have been quite offensively oriented since De Rossi took over Mourinho on the bench. However, we can hardly see them breaking down the stubborn Feyenoord back line on Thursday. Only two of the previous five head-to-head encounters between these counterparts provided three or more goals. The Under 2.5 goals FT bet is worth backing at the 1.85 odds.
