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)

In recent years, direct matches between these two teams have become increasingly frequent. Following the Conference League 2022 final and the quarterfinals of last season’s Europa League, Feyenoord and Roma are set to face each other again in the knockout stage of the second top-tier European competition.

Feyenoord is on the verge of qualifying directly for the Champions League via the Eredivisie as they currently hold a five-point lead over third-place Twente. However, their ten-point deficit against PSV appears insurmountable, leading them to concentrate on maintaining their existing position.

Roma suffered a 2-4 loss to Inter in the derby match at the Olimpico last weekend. This defeat against the top-ranked Serie A club caused Roma to drop to the 6th place in the standings. Despite the setback, the capital’s team still has opportunities to compete for one of the top 4 spots. Additionally, the Europa League presents another viable chance to vie 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
