Feyenoord has gained tremendous momentum and hasn’t suffered a defeat in seven consecutive matches. Moreover, five of them ended in victories. The team’s defensive line has become its main strength, currently on a streak of five matches without conceding a goal. The players will certainly aim to focus on defense once again, employing a tactical formation of 4-2-3-1 with robust central defenders and two strong holding midfielders. Under Arne Slot’s guidance last season, Feyenoord reached the quarterfinals of the UEFA Europa League, but they were eliminated by the upcoming opponent. Therefore, the players will attempt to pay their respects to the opponent. Interestingly, two out of the last three direct encounters ended with a 1-0 scoreline, with Feyenoord securing a victory only once.
As for “Roma,” the team is undergoing a change in the head coach position. The team has won only half of their last ten matches. In the previous domestic league fixture, they suffered a painful setback, losing 2-4 to “Inter” at their home stadium. Roma tends to achieve better results when adopting a defensive style of play. They use a tactical formation of 4-3-3, with almost all midfielders focused on disruption, excelling in this aspect. Under the guidance of Daniele De Rossi, the team is becoming more versatile. However, away matches still pose challenges, with only three out of their last ten ending in victories on the road. Therefore, the players are unlikely to act openly and boldly; instead, they will likely try to play defensively.
