Feyenoord vs AS Roma prediction 15.02.2024

• Competition: Europa League
• Date: 15.02.2024
• Kickoff: 17:45 UTC / 18:45 CET
• Venue: De Kuip (Rotterdam)

The history of direct matches between these two teams has started to become extremely frequent in the last few years. After the final of the Conference League 2022 and the 1/4 final of the Europa League last season, Feyenoord and Roma will meet again in the knockout phase of the second strongest European competition.

Feyenoord is very close to directly qualifying for the Champions League through the Eredivisie because they currently have 5 points more than Twente, which is in 3rd place. The deficit compared to PSV of 10 points seems irreparable, so all the focus is on preserving the current position.

Last weekend, Roma lost the derby match against Inter at the Olimpico 2-4. With that defeat against the first-placed club in Serie A, Roma dropped to 6th place in the table. Although there are still chances that this team from the capital will join the fight for one of the first 4 places, the Europa League is also a good opportunity to fight for the Champions League.

Feyenoord vs AS Roma pick: UNDER 2.5 GOALS

Roma is the overall favorite in this match. Maybe because they beat Feyenoord on the previous two occasions, 1-0 in the ECL final and 4-2 in last year's 1/4 final, however, in this first match, the club from Rotterdam has the role of the one that is closer to victory. Feyenoord is excellent this season and the goal is to reach the end in all competitions. In 4 previous matches on the home field, this team did not concede a goal and all were finished under 2.5. The first match could easily be a cruel tactical outwit without too much exposure and risk. We expect a maximum of 2 goals, but very possible less than that. Under 2.5 goals seems like the best option
