The game between Shakhtar Donetsk and Marseille will be a bit interesting if I should say so being as the hosts were not able to cope in Group H and won't want to waste this chance but again, Marseille won't sit with their hands folded while Shakhtar tries to beat them since they were able to finish with an impressive record in second place behind Brighton in Group B of the Europa league.
Shakhtar Donetsk will be playing their first competitive game of this year as they were thrashed 5-2 the last time they were in action in the champions league last year. The host will be looking to take advantage of the fact that Marseille have been on a rocky road, struggling to win in all competitions and even drawing to Metz in their weekend game last Saturday.
 Can Shakhtar get a win tonight as they invite Marseille to the Volksparkstadion in this early kick off or will Marseille take the lead? Believe me, it's quite difficult to predict with these two.

I do think Feyenoord will win against As.Roma tonight but they will also win the overall qualify as I can't see Roma having a great run in Europa League , especially after Mourinho has left as he was the on who actually qualified this team here.

I also won't be surprised to see Quarabag doing a decent game at Braga tonight and take at least 1 point that should be enough for 2nd game to qualify further;D

That late goal in the end of the first half made things difficult for Roma because they would have wanted to go into the half time on a level score. Feyenoord started the second half as the more confident side due to the goal, but they were not still sitting back in this game trying to defend their one goal, they were still trying to make attempts to score a second. Lukaku for Roma scores Roma's first goal to get the game to a leveled score before Feyenoord have the chance to increase their goal advantage, and still with enough time in the game, any of the teams can win the game.

As I follow a lot of Portuguese soccer, I'm keeping an eye on the three matches between Sporting, Braga and Benfica

Sporting are already winning and the other two will start playing soon
I believe that all three will qualify for the round of 16, and if they don't face Leverkusen, Liverpool or Milan straight away, they're in with a chance of progressing to the quarter-finals
Sporting and Benfica are better prepared than Braga

I placed a small bet on Sporting 

 Roma should have a target. They should focus on finishing in the top four at the end of the season. Which is definitely going to be hard I know. But they should not give up. Right now the initial target should be getting into the top five. And decreasing the point difference.

Feyenoord and Italian club AS Roma is under way. The home team is still leading with a goal to nil thanks to Paixao last minute goal in the first half.
With the performance of both teams, I think it'll be difficult for Roma to take something away from the game. 
A draw will be a good result for Roma since they're gonna play host to their opponents tonight next week Thursday at the famous Stadio Olympico in Rome. Daniele De Rossi who's the manager of Roma must do everything within his tactical strength to make sure his team gets at least a draw in the game but that'll actually be very difficult for them to do as the home team is still attacking to get more goals and seal their win

 Roma should have a target. They should focus on finishing in the top four at the end of the season. Which is definitely going to be hard I know. But they should not give up. Right now the initial target should be getting into the top five. And decreasing the point difference.

I know that Roma has some problems with the attacking lineup. But I actually think that defending has not been any better as well. Because they have conceded a lot of goals in this season. The amount of goals that they have conceded is the most in the top 11 teams. With that type of defensive performance top-four finish definitely looks very tough.

Of course, De Rossi will manage AS Roma with his best. De Rossi must prepare for the match against Feyenoord with AS Roma best lineup. If Feyenoord played not with their best lineup, AS Roma must have the advantage to exploit the weakness of Feyenoord. I'm sure, playing against Feyenoord will be easier than playing against Inter Milan. As far as I know, the defense line of Feyenoord isn't as strong as the defense of Inter Milan.

The focus of De Rossi should be the attacking line of AS Roma. The attackers still perform not consistently, Lukaku rarely scored goals now. Only Dybala who played quite productive in the recent time. However, Dybala has the weakness on his fitness because he often gets injured. That's makes Dybala almost never played full time.

I do think Feyenoord will win against As.Roma tonight but they will also win the overall qualify as I can't see Roma having a great run in Europa League , especially after Mourinho has left as he was the on who actually qualified this team here.

I also won't be surprised to see Quarabag doing a decent game at Braga tonight and take at least 1 point that should be enough for 2nd game to qualify further;D

Galatasaray will be looking for a win against their opponent Sparta Prague.Galatasaray, who were relegated from the Champions League to the European Cup, did not perform badly, but their luck was not on their side.Now their first opponent in the Europa League is Sparta Prague and they have an in-form opponent.They definitely have a chance to win against Sparta Prague, but it should be said that it will not be an easy match.I think Galatasaray will advance with a win at home and a draw away.

I do think Feyenoord will win against As.Roma tonight but they will also win the overall qualify as I can't see Roma having a great run in Europa League , especially after Mourinho has left as he was the on who actually qualified this team here.

I expect at least 3 goals in the match. Because Feyenoord and Roma are two attacking teams. They both know the advantages of goals very well. Their powers are almost equal. What is important is that they try to do their best in these struggles. Whoever is better today will win, but in my opinion, this match is 50-50.

Yes indeed, the previous AS Roma v Inter match in Serie A was at least enough to show that AS Roma still has a chance to be able to beat Feyenoord in this Europa League match. But even so, it seems that AS Roma is not the favorite to win in this match because after all, based on the odds at least the Feyenoord home team is still quite favored. Therefore, although it seems that AS Roma can still play well but yes, I think that Feyenoord will also be able to have a good effort also in this match.

So yes, any result can still happen in this match because at least, Feyenoord is also not a weak team at all, so it will still not be easy for AS Roma to win in this match. Therefore, I honestly think betting on the winning team in this match will be a difficult choice but even so, I expect a lot of goals to be scored in this match maybe 3 goals can happen.

Well, we will soon find out how these two teams will meet in today's match. more precisely, early morning in my country. Talking about this fight, I think the fight is quite difficult for us to predict. which means, it looks like this match will be quite tough. plus, Feyenoord as the home team will not allow De Rossi and his team to win easily in Rotterdam. moreover, this playoff round match is a crucial match for De Rossi in the international arena with his AS Roma squad. we will find out how AS Roma played their match, and show their performance.

On the other hand, Feyenoord as the home team seems ready to host the match against AS Roma. Referring to the matches played by Arne Slot's squad, in 7 matches in various competitions, Feyenoord performed quite well without losing. thus, as the home team, Feyenoord seems to be quite confident when they host their opponents in the meeting tonight. moreover, not a few doubt De Rossi's performance in managing AS Roma. but we'll see which team will win this match.

Referring to the betting market, Feyenoord with odds @2.16 and AS Roma with odds @3.30. my estimation, this match has the potential to end in a draw. so, the draw option can be considered with odds @3.20. or the Over 2.5 goals @1.90 option, another option is to choose AS Roma with a handicap option with a margin of 0:0. the point is, I favor Roma in this match.
