Europa Conference League: Feyenoord vs. Slavia Prague Preview, Odds, Prediction

Feyenoord and Slavia Prague meet once again in the Europa Conference League. After clashing during the group stage, these two teams will square off in the quarterfinals. Feyenoord had more success earlier this season, but things are different now, and what happened in the past has no relevance now. The Dutch unit is the favorite, but Slavia simply can’t be underestimated. Otherwise, they could be very dangerous. We are sure that the fans at De Kuip will make a wonderful atmosphere and a spectacle to remember. That is just another reason you shouldn’t miss this event.

Preview

Feyenoord (-166) posted a win, a draw, and a loss in the past three games. The loss was at Ajax Arena against the Lancers, who came back from behind to win 3-2. After that, the team from Rotterdam played 3-3 at home against Waalwijk, which was a great surprise, and in the end, they finally posted a victory this last weekend, vs. Willem II, 2-0.

Arne Slot’s guys are very talented, and several of them will have a big career, there is not a single shred of doubt about that. Slot wants his team to play open and offensive-minded football, with lots of running and crosses.

They have six straight games at home without losing, winning four and posting two draws. In all but one clash, they scored two goals, three or more in three meetings. Though, the defense delivered a clean sheet twice, allowing some mediocre units to net.

Slavia Prague (+475) comes to Rotterdam with unimaginable problems caused by the injuries. Still, Jindřich Trpišovský and his team aren’t giving up, and may we add that they heroically play the season.

The team from the capital of the Czech Republic wasn’t that confident in the previous month, losing twice, having one draw and ending up on the winning side on two occasions. Prior to it, they were ruthless, smashing and bashing every team that stood in their way.

The main problem was the defense, because Sparta posted just one clean sheet in the previous five games, three most recent ten. The defenses had a massive impact on the current situation.

Latest News

Biljow, Geertruida and Sandler are out for sure, while Hartjes and Toornstra await to hear the clearance from the medical staff.

The list of Slavia’s injured and absent players is a bit longer.Boril, Hovorka, Hromada, Jurasek, Krmencik, Masopust and Sevcik are all injured. Ousou and Plavsic have been suspended because of red cards. Dorley, Olayinka and Samek are questionable.

Head to Head

The games in the group stage were interesting. The opening one in Rotterdam saw the hosts winning, 2-1, while the second leg in Prague ended with a 2-2 draw.

Prediction

We think that the past is about to repeat itself. If you notice the imbalance between the respective attacks and defenses is too big, and it will result in a high-efficient game. Our top pick here is over 2.5 goals, with the odds are quite satisfying at the moment, -125. You can go with this or over 1.5 goals in the second half.
