Romelu Lukaku made it 17 Europa League goals in 18 appearances after the Belgian equalised in Rotterdam seven days ago. Igor Paixao had given the Dutch side the lead just after half-time and heading into this second leg, it is Roma who are the favourites to advance to the next stage of the competition. Bookmakers have chalked Thursday’s hosts as the 11/20 favourites ‘to qualify', while those looking to side with Feyenoord have 5/4 available, implying a 44% chance of success.
Roma vs Feyenoord Tips
The first selection we are recommending is for Roma to win the match in 90 minutes. Since Jose Mourinho’s departure, Roma have significantly improved their form, with former player Daniele De Rossi taking the reins.
Since De Rossi took charge, Roma have lost just one of their six matches (W4 D1 L1), with that defeat coming against runaway Serie A leaders Inter Milan at the San Siro. These two teams have met four times in the last three years with Roma winning two of those, including in the inaugural Europa Conference League final back in 2022, as the Italians won their first piece of European silverware for 61 years.
Feyenoord may be on an 11-game unbeaten run, but most of those matches have been played on home soil and their form on the road is nowhere near as strong. Slot’s side have failed to win any of their last nine games away from home in Europe, including defeat here last season and at 11/10 we like the look Roma to grab the victory this time round.
For those seeking a bet at a bigger price we have picked out a double with BetMGM consisting of Lorenzo Pellegrini to score and Gianluca Mancini to be carded. The 27-year-old midfielder has scored in three of his last four league starts for his employers and in the only game in that sample which he didn’t score he provided two assists in the 4-2 defeat to Inter. Pellegrini is averaging a healthy 2.2 shots per game this season and makes appeal at the current prices to find the net here.
Next up we are siding with Gianluca Mancini to be carded. Only Leandro Parades has received more yellow cards for Roma this season than the centre-back who already has racked up seven in the league this term. Mancini was also carded in his only appearances in the Coppa Italia this season and should be in for a good battle with Feyenoord forward Santiago Gimenez who has managed 19 league goals since the start of the campaign.
