Feyenoord vs Roma Prediction
De club aan de Maas have enjoyed a good run of form recently, suffering just one loss in their last 11 games across all competitions. They are unbeaten in their last seven home games, recording five wins and keeping four clean sheets on the spin.
Quinten Timber is nursing a concussion and is a doubt for this match alongside top-scorer Santiago Gimenez, who has a calf injury. Captain Gernot Trauner is also injured and not an option for the first leg.
The Giallorossi saw their three-game winning run end last week as they suffered a 4-2 loss to Inter Milan, conceding four goals for just the second time this season. They continued their good goalscoring run in that match, scoring at least twice for the fourth match in a row.
It was the first loss for Daniele De Rossi as his former club's head coach, and he will look to rally his squad to bounce back in his first European game in charge. Chris Smalling was on the bench in the loss to Inter, while Bryan Cristante is sidelined with a back injury.
Both teams have injury concerns for this match, and some changes in the starting XI are expected here. Nonetheless, considering the home advantage for Feyenoord and their unbeaten run in 2024, we back them to eke out a narrow win.
Prediction: Feyenoord 2-1 Roma
