Feyenoord vs. Roma Prediction on February 15, 2024

Match info

Feyenoord and AS Roma are set to face off in the men’s football UEFA Europe League 1/16 final, a step up from their 2022 UEFA Europa Conference League final. The previous time around, the Italian side prevailed because of a goal by Nicolo Zaniolo in the 32nd minute, which was sufficient to separate the two teams and make former head coach Jose Mourinho the first to win the trophy in all three major UEFA competitions. Looking at odds set by bookmakers with Android apps, the tables should be turned this time. The new Feyenoord vs. Roma match is set to take place at Rotterdam, Netherlands’ De Kuip stadium on Thursday, February 15 at 6:45 p.m. local time.

Meeting statistics

Only five times have these two teams faced off in their history of competition. Roma have won three of their meetings, compared to Feyenoord’s one, with the two teams only drawing once.

Match analytics

Having trailed by 10 points to the league’s undefeated team PSV Eindhoven, Feyenoord is destined for the runner-up position in the Dutch Eredivisie this season.

Their most recent loss in any competition was a 1-2 setback to Celtic in December. Feyenoord have won their past two games – against AZ Alkmaar and the derby against Sparta Rotterdam. They lost all three of their away games, which makes them far more formidable at De Kuip. They were eliminated from the UEFA Champions League after placing third in their group behind Atlético Madrid and Lazio. Feyenoord, nevertheless, is coming into this game on a roll. In their previous eight games across all competitions, they have six victories, two draws, and four straight clean sheets. Since losing to Roma in the UEFA third-tier competition title game, the Dutch giant has also won its 16th Eredivisie championship.

A number of head coach Arne Slot’s most important players won’t be available for the forthcoming series of games. Quinten Timber (concussion), Gernot Trauner (hamstring), Justin Bijlow (calf), and Santiago Giménez (calf) will be missing the game against Roma. Without the last one we mentioned, who leads the team with 21 goals and five assists in 28 games this season, the squad has adjusted quite well.

“The Club on the Meuse“ takes on Roma, who are now managed by former Italy international Daniele De Rossi (117 caps), who replaced fired Mourinho as head coach last month. Roma have already dropped eight league games this season, leaving them in a depressing sixth position in Serie A. The most recent setback occurred over the weekend when they lost to Inter Milan 2-4 at home. Europe-wise, they have only one loss—at Slavia Prague—in their six Europa League group-stage matches. “I Giallorossi“ overcame Sherif Tiraspol and Servette.

The majority of De Rossi’s players will be healthy and ready for their next knockout match. But Tammy Abraham, a long-term absentee with a cruciate ligament injury, is still out and may make his eagerly anticipated comeback in the coming weeks.

Both sides have scored in three of their head-to-heads, and there have been fewer than three goals in three matches. Roma have won one and lost one of its previous two trips to Rotterdam, but they are invincible at home.

Since the away goals rule is no longer in effect, both clubs will be keen to play. Based on all of the indicators above, the first leg should be another close match that ends in a draw. Betshop.com laid out the 3.63 odds of such an outcome.
