Chris Smalling and Tammy Abraham will be unavailable for this clash.
Feyenoord has been pretty good in the Eredivisie this season, while their inability to claim the top spot is down to PSV’s outstanding performances in the league. Feyenoord has won 16 league games, drawing four times, with two losses. In all competitions, they have won 71 times while conceding 30 times so far.
This team is enjoying an impressive run of form, having secured four wins from their last five games. During this period, they have scored seven goals while conceding just once. Their strong defensive capabilities have played a crucial role in their recent success. Moreover, the team can be clinical in front of goal when needed.
Captain Gernot Trauner and goalkeeper Justin Bijlow will miss this game. Quinten Timber is still a doubt after suffering a concussion.

With qualification at stake, we anticipate both sides to adopt an attacking approach right from the start. Feyenoord will be motivated by a desire for revenge, considering their recent defeats against Roma. The Dutch team possesses the offensive firepower to score multiple goals and will be eager to capitalize on their chances. Their inability to score was the primary reason for their failure to win the first leg. While Roma also boasts strong attacking capabilities, they have defensive vulnerabilities that can be exploited. If Feyenoord can replicate their performance from the first leg and capitalize on their chances, we anticipate a high-scoring game.

The latest Europa League odds suggest that both teams will likely score. Despite playing at home, Roma’s defensive vulnerabilities can not be overlooked, and we fully expect the visitors to find the net. The Galliarossi has indeed scored 59 goals across all competitions. Yet their opponents are also proficient in this department, scoring 71 times this season. In the first leg of this clash, both teams scored and hit the post. Additionally, they each had extended periods of possession, with Roma claiming 46.5% and Feyenoord 53.5%. This stat suggests that both teams will have ample time to execute their game plans.

Romelu Lukaku is enjoying a modest season in Italy as he has scored 16 goals for his club this season, with six of those goals coming in the Europa League. The Belgian striker was Roma’s scorer in the first leg of this contest, grabbing the equalizer in the 67th minute. Given his importance to this team, it won’t be surprising if he is among the goals authors again.
Roma has the edge heading into this clash; however, given the state of their defense, we can’t predict a likely winner for this contest. You can use our Roma vs Feyenoord betting tips to wager at your best online betting app.
