Feyenoord take on the visitors Marseille in the first leg of UEFA Conference League semifinals. The match will be played on Thursday, April 28th at De Kuip (Rotterdam).
In general, all Feyenoord forces can be focused on the Conference League. There, the Dutch started back in the summer qualification, with games against Drita from Kosovo. The group, where the opponents were Maccabi (Haifa), Slavia (Prague) and Union (Berlin), managed to win. In the playoffs, Gus Teal and company dealt with Partizan without any problems, scoring 8 goals in a couple of matches. It was more difficult in a new duel with the Czechs - they pulled out a draw in Rotterdam. But on the field of patchwork the representative of the Netherlands again scored three times - and conceded only 1 goal.

Marseille are in good shape - especially compared to last season. The Provencals then broke up with Villas-Boas with a scandal, calling Sampaoli in his place. Jorge seemed to have spent the rest of the last season mainly on getting comfortable in France and sorting out the problems that had accumulated in the team. In 2021/2022, the Argentine gave a good result. Yes, it was not without mistakes, such as failure in the cup 1-4 with Nice, or 3rd place in the Europa League group. But at the same time, the club is very close to finishing in 2nd place in the championship and returning to the Champions League. And, having fallen into the League of Conferences, the French are giving out 100% results so far. Both matches were won against Karabakh, Basel and PAOK.
As part of the 1999/2000 Champions League draw, the Dutch and the French played each other at the level of the 2nd group round - then there were experiments with similar regulations. Then Feyenoord were stronger: 3-0 in Rotterdam, 0-0 in France. Feyenoord was left without Thornstra, Beilov and Sandler, and Til is also in question. Olimpik will not have De la Fuente, Balerdi and Cengiz Under. Bookmakers consider Feyenoord's chances of a home win to be quite good. But the form (and especially the statistics in the tournament) of Marseille is also impressive, so it’s better to take the option with “total over 2.5 goals”.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored.
