Feyenoord to Win
Feyenoord secured a useful 1-1 draw against Shakhtar Donetsk in last week’s first leg, though the Dutch side should really have won after they racked up a huge 21 attempts to their opponent’s five. However, back in Rotterdam, we expect Arne Slot’s side to make their dominance count. De Stadionclub have yet to lose a competitive fixture on home soil this term, and our first Feyenoord vs Shakhtar Donetsk prediction backs them to shine in front of their own supporters again on Thursday.
Over 1.5 Feyenoord Goals
The second of today’s football betting tips dips into the goals markets and we’re tipping Feyenoord to net over 1.5 of them against Shakhtar on Thursday. Feyenoord only registered once in last week’s first leg, though they mustered 21 shots in the game, five of which were saved by Anatoliy Trubin and with a little more luck, they’d have run up a bigger score. However, back on home turf, where Feyenoord have notched at least twice in five of their last six assignments, they should be more clinical.
