Feyenoord vs FC Porto Prediction & Betting tips
Although Feyenoord is not playing a Champions League this season, FC Porto home is of course a poster to lick your fingers at! Can the magic of De Kuip help the Rotterdammers to win an important victory in the Europa League?
Feyenoord:
Whimsical, changeable, unstable: just three words with which you could best describe the seasonal start of Feyenoord. It is a season of peaks, but also of many valleys. One week the team from Rotterdam will have no chance at all against Rangers (1-0) and AZ (0-3). And just at the moment you think the pleuris breaks out in the port city, the red and white win no less than 5-1 from FC Twente. As a Feyenoord supporter you have to get mad about it, because you never know in advance whether you will be served the good or bad Feyenoord. Club icon Willem van Hanegem is also going crazy: ‘Apparently they can, but you can wait for the weather to go wrong. A good match says nothing, because a week later it can be nothing again. ”
This instability makes it very difficult for me to predict what will happen to FC Porto on Thursday evening, although I honestly fear the worst. The backs of Ridgeciano Haps and Rick Karsdorp often run forward like a headless chicken, often both at the same time. That was not punished against FC Twente, but such tactical flaters can sometimes cost you dearly against those ludid Portuguese. In addition, the team from Rotterdam was greatly helped last weekend by FC Twente closing post Joël Drommel, who was incredibly blundering. FC Porto, of course, has a much better goalkeeper with Argentinian international Agustin Marchesin.
FC Porto:
The Portuguese vice-champion choked in the preliminary rounds of the Champions League in the Krasnodar of former Feyenoorder (!) Tonny Vilhena, and so the football giant has to settle for participating in the Europa League this season. FC Porto, however, has recovered well from the debacle against the Russians, because since the shameful 2-3 home defeat of August 13, the Portuguese have managed to win all of their eight subsequent duels. Feyenoord has been warned!
One of those eight Portuguese victories was of course the 2-1 home win two weeks ago at Young Boys in the first Europa League group match. So FC Porto already has three points in their pocket and, with a victory in De Kuip, is taking a giant step towards European wintering. I heard René van der Gijp say to Veronica Inside last Monday that he expects FC Porto to go for a draw, but I think he might be wrong about that. FC Porto does not have to take action this weekend, so there is no reason for coach Sergio Conceicao to spare players. In fact, I expect that he will give a lot of gas in Rotterdam. The sooner FC Porto receives that ticket for the knockout phase of the Europa League, the better.
