Europa League: AS Roma vs. Feyenoord Preview, Odds, Predictions

AS Roma and Feyenoord will engage in an intense Europa League battle this Thursday night at Olimpico Stadium in Rome. The Dutch unit has a 1-0 lead from the opening meeting, in which Roma didn’t play well but got away with a minimal deficit. Jose Mourinho’s crew had a solid intro for this clash this weekend, and the same can be said for Feyenoord, who also beat its domestic rivals. Apart from the Europa League semis, this is a battle of two units who met in the Europa Conference League finals last year, which gives additional tension ahead of this clash.

AS Roma vs. Feyenoord Preview

AS Roma (-110) has been confident against Udinese in Serie A on Sunday night, winning 3-0 and erasing that minimal defeat from Rotterdam. This was the third victory in a row for Il Lupi in the Italian championship, after Sampdoria and Torino, the latter on the road.

A solid defense encourages Mourinho before this event, with AS Roma keeping clean sheets in those three victories while scoring seven times on the other side of the pitch. They were also close to protecting the goal in the Netherlands, but the hosts managed to stuff that one hit inside their net. 

Mourinho’s side is pretty confident at Olimpico, where they posted wight victories with two losses in the recent ten games. All but two victories have come with at least two goals scored.

Feyenoord (+320) is unstoppable in the Eredivisie, and the team from De Kuip is awfully close to its 16th title. This might be a historic campaign for them, as Arne Slot’s crew has enough quality to go all the way, even on the international stage, and erase last year’s disappointment. 

This unit has only one defeat in the previous 25 contests across all the competitions, and that was a 1-2 loss to Ajax at home in the Dutch Cup semis. 

Their meeting with Roma at De Kuip was the first one with fewer than three goals over the past eight, with the Rotterdamers playing high-paced and offensive-minded football.

AS Roma vs. Feyenoord Head to Head Games

Feyenoord was better at home, 1-0, but we have to remind you that the guests had a penalty kick at the finish of the first half, which they failed to utilize. Mats Weiffert netted for the hosts. 

Last year’s ECL finals saw the same result, only Roma ended up on the winning side. Nicolo Zaniolo was the one who brought Il Lupi its first international trophy and also, who made Mourinho incredibly happy. 

AS Roma vs. Feyenoord Predictions

The hosts are much more offensive-minded at home than on the road, and in this case, they need to attack to catch up with the deficit. We expect to see a more aggressive approach from Mourinho’s side, which Feyenoord will accept. Unlike the game at De Kuip, where the Italians came to defend, the one at Olimpico should be more dynamic, so we take over 2.5 goals.
