Feyenoord vs Young Boys Prediction & Betting tips
De Kuip will be full again on Thursday evening, when Feyenoord takes on the Young Boys in Group G of the Europa League. The Rotterdammers must win to keep their chances of European wintering alive.
Feyenoord:
Can the new coach Dick Advocaat still save the season of Feyenoord? That is the big question that currently occupies the whole of Rotterdam and the surrounding area. Even the most optimistic Feyenoord fans were aware that the red and white could not compete with Ajax and PSV this season, but the current tenth place in the Eredivisie and the way in which the team let themselves be slaughtered by Ajax a week and a half ago was of course Feyenoord unworthy. Jaap Stam seemed with his no-nonsense approach made for the club from the port city, but that marriage did not last long.
Under Dick Advocaat, belief in one’s own abilities has somewhat returned to De Kuip. If you choose Lawyer, you mainly opt for clarity, something we clearly saw in the away match against VVV Venlo last weekend (0-3 win). The central defense duo Eric Botthegin and Jan-Arie van der Heijden were restored to their former glory, and Steven Berghuis awarded his new captain with two goals. I expect a completely different Feyenoord on Thursday-evening against Young Boys than the team that let themselves be led like a lamb to the slaughter two weeks ago in the mutual meeting in Bern. Since the arrival of Advocaat, everyone in Rotterdam has been on the alert again, because the competitive mentality has been improved. However, Feyenoord cannot have Leroy Fer (suspended) and perhaps Botteghin (doubt case) against Young Boys.
Young Boys:
The Swiss Young Boys is of course not a European high flyer, although the team from Bern leads the group G of the Europa League with six points from three group matches. In their own country too, the yellow blacks are in the lead and so they know how to outdo Archrival Basel, even though coach Gerardo Seoane’s team went down hard last weekend at Servette (3-0). With that, a nice series of seven victories in a row came to an end.
The question now is to what extent Young Boys is capable of leaving behind that painful defeat. After all, the Swiss played largely with their regular base eleven, including the dangerous Cameroonians Moumi Ngalameu (4 goals in 11 games) and Jean-Pierre Nsame (11 goals in 13 games). In addition, Seoane midfielder Gianluca Gaudino was injured. The Swiss self-confidence has therefore suffered a considerable dent last weekend.
