On Thursday night, Feyenoord hosts Marseille in the first leg of the Europa Conference League first leg semi-final, with both teams looking to gain a potential advantage for the crucial second leg.
The Dutch team heads into this clash in good form, as Arne Slot’s team is unbeaten in five games in all competitions, having recorded four wins and a draw. A 2-1 win over Utrecht last time out continued a prolific trend for Feyenoord in front of goal, as the game saw Slot’s team score at least two goals for the ninth straight competitive match.
Feyenoord also has a good recent record in the Europa Conference League, as they have won seven of their last ten matches in the competition while remaining unbeaten in the run.
The home side’s potent attack has been on full display in the European competition, as they have scored at least two goals in each of their last nine European games. That includes scoring at least three goals in their last four matches in the Europa Conference League.
OM are enjoying an excellent campaign all around, as Jorge Sampaoli’s team also currently sits in second place in their domestic league. One more victory could be enough to see OM qualify for the Champions League next season.
After their exit from the Europa League at the group stages following a rather underwhelming campaign, Marseille has thrived in their maiden Europa Conference League campaign.
In fact, the visitors have won all six of their games in the relatively new competition, while scoring at least two goals in five of their six games in the competition.
This is a clash between two very good attacking teams. Forebet predicts Marseille will record a potentially decisive victory in a high-scoring encounter.
