The first of two encounters in the Europa League Quarter-finals, as the hometeam Feyenoord will try to edge Roma in their own ballpark.

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Roma, who are travelling more than 1600 kilometers to play this game.

The hosts Feyenoord saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Eredivisie. This match was also played here at Stadion Feijenoord. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Roma have had more rest.

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.
