International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Feyenoord and Dinamo Zagreb are looking forward to this Europa League fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Eredivisie. Thankfully the previous game, versus FC Utrecht, was also a home game here at Stadion Feijenoord. The away team is better rested.

It's quite the trip for Dinamo Zagreb when visiting Feyenoord as the cities are 1300 kilometers apart.

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
