Roma vs Feyenoord Prediction & Match Preview

• Roma have 12 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss in the last 15 home affairs across competitions.
• Feyenoord lost all three away fixtures in the UEFA Champions League group.
• Roma advanced from all of the last three European knockout stage ties against Feyenoord.

A 1-1 draw in Rotterdam left the UEFA Europa League knockout round playoffs tie between Feyenoord and Roma wide open ahead of the return leg in Italian capital. Romelu Lukaku cancelled Igor Paixao’s first-half opener seven days ago. Both outfits got the job done in their domestic leagues at the weekend and should come into this in high spirits.

Roma demolished Frosinone 3-0 on the road four days ago. The final scoreline may not reveal the true happenings on the pitch, though. Frosinone created even more chances than the Romans but failed to convert any on the occasion. Such defensive liability causes headaches for Daniele De Rossi ahead of another clash with the Dutch powerhouse.

Feyenoord faced big problems in attempts to break the deadlock against ten-man RKC Waalwijk on Sunday afternoon. They eventually made it count through Mads Wieffer seven minutes from time. A narrow 1-0 victory kept Arne Slot’s troops ten points shy of PSV Eindhoven at the top of the Eredivisie standings.

Recent Meetings

This is the third successive year of knockout-phase clashes between Roma and Feyenoord in European competitions, fourth in total.

Roma advanced on each of the previous three occasions, including a 1-0 victory in the final of the inaugural UEFA Conference League edition in 2022.

Both teams were on target in four of six H12H clashes.

Roma vs Feyenoord Prediction

Roma have grown in both form and confidence since Daniele De Rossi took over Jose Mourinho on the bench. However, De Rossi still has a mountain to climb to fix all the defensive holes in his team’s back line. Roma conceded four goals in a recent home loss to Inter Millan. They allowed seven shots on target in the weekend’s win at Frosinone. While Feyenoord have played some tight games of late in Eredivisie, we can hardly see either team failing to find the back of the net on Thursday at Stadio Olimpico. Also, four of the previous six head-to-head clashes between these counterparts produced goals at both ends. The main pick is Both Teams To Score at the 1.75 odds.

Feyenoord are unbeaten in eleven consecutive games across competitions. However, they’ve lost all three away outings in this term of the UEFA Champions League. They also have a negative record in the clashes against Roma in recent years. La Lupa won 12, drew 2, and lost 1 of the last 15 home matches across competitions. We will alternatively go for the home win bet at the 2.10 odds.
