Europa League betting and spectator preview: Feyenoord and CSKA Moskva meet at Stadion Feijenoord to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.
It's no vacation for neither Feyenoord nor CSKA Moskva as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
These teams have little in common geographically as CSKA Moskva have to travel 2400 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Feyenoord form and stats
Feyenoord participated in Europa League the last season, where they reached the group stage.Feyenoord must be fairly happy with 5 points from their first three Eredivisie games here at Stadion Feijenoord. The Feyenoord fans aren't used to losing league-games here at Stadion Feijenoord and will expect new points from this game. Feyenoord has played twelve games in a row here without a defeat.
Feyenoord are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus FC Emmen. Before that game, the home loss against Wolfsberger AC with the scoreline 1-4.
This is expected to be a close game, with Feyenoord perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Feyenoord as a small favourite), we find one game. Feyenoord has won one of these, drawn zero and lost zero.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Feyenoord as they have a new game in only three days, a Eredivisie match thankfully also at home. FC Groningen are visiting.
Goals decide football matches and Feyenoord are scoring many of them at home; 6 on target from 3 league matches. On the other hand, Feyenoord have conceded 4 goals.
CSKA Moskva form and stats
Moskva's mission in Europa League last season failed in the group stage.CSKA Moskva's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed CSKA Moskva collect 13 points from their 6 away matches in the Premier League. 4 victories and 1 draw have created these points (and only 1 defeat).
Moskva are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 0-0 draw at Rotor Volgograd. Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Dinamo Zagreb.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found four similar matches played by Moskva in our archives, and the results are: zero wins for CSKA Moskva, three draws and one defeat.
After this away game Moskva return home for a Premier League game against Rostov. That game is only three sleeps after this.
The travelling fans enjoy Moskva's attacking play in away games, having scored 10 goals in 6 league matches away. Moskva are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 3 away goals have been conceded so far.
