Team analysis

The home team entered this match as favorites and as the first ranked team of the Dutch Eredivisie. Prior to this match, they beat Volendam 2-1 and maintained a 3 point lead over first runner up Ajax.

 

Shakhtar had played in the Champions League this season but continued to compete in the Europa League after finishing 3rd in the group stage. In the previous phase, they knocked out Rennes and also took first place in the Ukrainian championship.

Feyenoord are having perhaps the best season of the century and this is a unique opportunity to reach the Europa League final as well as win the title. the club from Rotterdam will count in the Europa League and they will attack with all their might.

UEFA Europa League - Feyenoord v Midtjylland

 

 

Analysis:

Group F of the Europa League is still wide open, all 4 teams are on exactly 4 points with Feyenood leading the group just on goal differences. Today I expect Feyenoord to prevail without too much troublesome from visitor Danish side Midtjylland as they are not so strong away from home.

 

Feyenoord was a bit lucky from last week's away game at Midtjylland with a late draw denying an away win. Today back at home, I am going to expect an easy home win. Odds on home win at 1.55 average is in line with my expectation. This game Feyenoord should also be able to clear off the Asian Handicap at -1

 

Recommendation:

 

Home win - (High Stake Single)

 

Asian Handicap - Feyenoord (-1)

 

Anytime goal scorer - Danilo

 

UEFA Europa League - Lazio vs Feyenoord

 

 

Analysis:

Lazio will welcome Feyenoord for their opening game of Europa League at Stadio Olimpico on Thursday.

 

Lazio

Lazio are coming from a 1-2 home loss at the hands of Napoli, which has been their second winless round since the new season. In their first five rounds this season, Lazio have picked up two wins and two draws before that lost to Napoli last outing. To be mentioned, three of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals.

 

Feyenoord

Feyenoord has performed well on their domestic League. After reversing Go Ahead Eagles 4-3 away from home in the last round, the team have achieved 3 consecutive victories, with scoring 9 goals totally and keeping 2 clean sheets. And they are even in away winning streak, so it will be an interesting clash.

 

Prediction:

Feyenoord came into this game with good League run and excellent scoring form. Lazio are looking forward to ending the winless record by this round, but they didn't score as many as Feyenoord. I think this game will end with more than 2.5 goals.

 

O/U Pick: Over 2.5/3 goals
