Feyenoord hosts Dinamo Tbilisi in the first leg of the Europa League qualification semifinals. The match will be played on Thursday, August 8th at De Kuip (Rotterdam)
Feyenoord does not know victories for 5 last consecutive matches. In round 1 of the Dutch championship, it scratched out a draw from Sparta in the 95th minute at home. I want to immediately note that Feyenoord played all those 5 matches with more than 2 goals scored. And there are changes in the team. Jaap Stam replaced Van Bronkhorst on the coaching bridge this summer.

Dinamo Tbilisi will play in the Europa League qualification already for the third round. At first, the Georgians knocked out a team from Andora Engordani (6-0 and 0-1) without any problems. And then they beat much stronger Azerbaijani Gabala (0-2 and 3-0). In the last match, they defeated compatriots from Lokomotiv in a derby (6-0). As we see, the Georgians play very efficiently, and they also scored more than two goals in 6 of their last 7 matches. The Spanish coach of Dinamo, Miranda, can count on a couple of his compatriots. But they are not of the highest level, I must say. Perales played in Gimnastic; Mongil played only 5 matches for Valladolid. There is a Frenchman of the same level. This is not enough to compete on equal terms with the bronze medalist of the Dutch championship in its field.
It was not for nothing that I focused on scoring. Based on the available data, you can just bet on Over 2.5 goal scored. In addition to the already existing facts, I may say that the Dutch play 18 out of their last 20 matches with such a result. But you can go a little further. Feyenoord has not won for a month now. But all the matches, except for the last one, were friendly. And the rivals in them, with all due respect to Dynamo, were much stronger and more authoritative. Salzburg, Panathinaikos, Southampton... And the preparatory period is one thing, and the game in European competition is a completely different one. Here the Dutch will have a completely different mood. Last year, they were already left without European tournaments in autumn, having relegated from the Europa League just at this stage. Jaap Stam and his players understand that it will be much harder to play in Georgia due to its geographical location, and Dinamo will fight to the last there. So the margin of general victory must be done at home, and it must be solid. The Dutch are quite capable of scoring 2 or 3 goals. Maybe they will concede, but their victory seems to be out of question.
Prediction for the match: Feyenoord to win and Over 2.5 goals scored
