Prediction: 2-1
AS Roma
De Kuip will be the centre of attention when Feyenoord and Roma lock horns in the Europa League last 32, first leg. The Rotterdammers are eyeing their fourth consecutive win in all competitions and they must be high on confidence following a win in the Rotterdam derby. The likes of Bijlow, Zechiel, van den Belt, and Trauner should miss out with injuries, while Quinten Timber is a major doubt.
The Giallorossi, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-2 loss to Inter, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the Eredivisie champions, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. Evan Ndicka is unlikely to feature in Thursday’s clash as the defender represented Ivory Coast in the Africa Cup of Nations final at the weekend, while Tammy Abraham remains on the sidelines with a long-term injury.
