Feyenoord vs Lazio
17:45 @ De Kuip
Feyenoord (6/5) Draw (11/4) Lazio (2/1)
The final game of the group stages sees a Feyenoord side who must win to have a chance of qualification come up against a free scoring Lazio side who simply have to avoid a defeat to qualify.
Last time out saw The Biancocelesti win 4-2, with just the single card shown for each side in a thrilling end to end game; with both sides having 16 goal attempts each as well as 8 fouls each. Lazio’s record away from home in the UEL is 1 win from their last 10, losing 7. Expect this to be an exciting end to end encounter once again with a defeat not an option.
An intriguing matchup to look out for is Felipe Anderson and Mattia Zaccagni up against former Serie A centre-back Dávid Hancko. He’ll be up against this free flowing Lazio attack averaging 1.0 and 1.2 shots per game. Hancko averaging 2.0 tackles per game faces the tricky width that these two bring to Rotterdam.
The midfield battle of Sergej Milinković-Savić and Orkun Kökçü itself looks hot enough with both on 1 booking each in this years competition but maintaining on average 1 tackle per game.
Referee tonight Peljto has been averaging 4.3 yellow cards this competition round and expect to see that at least tonight.
