Today the first leg of the play offs started and I am quite excited about some of the matches in this play off.
Not without reason because seeing from what is happening now some matches seem to be  very interesting and one that I am waiting for is the Roma and Feyenoord match.
This is not just about a play off match but this could be a revenge event because in the last few seasons of course we know they always meet and beat each other in important leagues including in the last 2 seasons when they were in the race for the Conference League trophy.
This season a revenge match other than a play off match is indeed suitable to be pinned in this match and I think I will enjoy the treats that will be shown in this match.
 

Although Im concerned, I share your confidence regarding A.S. Roma's chances versus Feyenoord. Winning against smaller clubs and losing against Inter Milan doesnt tell the whole story. I dont think those matches show strength or weakness. The Inter loss woke up all fans. Feyenoord is no pushover. Im betting on Roma winning or drawing because a loss would be shocking. I think Roma can do it if they play consistently. Roma has clearly understood the importance of not underestimating opponents.

One of the most anticipated matches is Feyenoord vs AS Roma, not without reason, most people especially me want to see how they perform in the Europa League with their new coach, De Rossi. In Serie A itself they have not shown anything extraordinary, although they can get some positive results, but overall they still have a lot of work to do.
Feyenoord won't be an easy opponent for them and I think it will be an interesting match. One of the things I expect in this match is for them to play openly and attack each other, that's exactly the kind of game I always want to see, regardless of who's playing.
De Rossi has to show that he can take AS Roma to the next level and have a lot to say in the Europa League this season. Do not let doubts stick to him after seeing AS Roma's performance in the Europa League this season.

AC Milan are unequivocally superior to Rennes in class. I don't expect any surprises in this pairing, and there shouldn't be any. Milan must win on their own field confidently, especially the return game will be held in France. I believe that Milan will win by at least two goals.

De Rossi could not change the team much in such a short period of time, perhaps he managed to raise the team spirit, and this was noticeable in the match with Inter, but whether this is enough to beat Feenoord, we have to find out. It wasn't enough to beat Inter, but De Rossi made Roma a more attacking team, but will they stick to that strategy in the away leg, EL play-offs. Feenoord has a good defense in the last 5 matches they haven't conceded, I think Roma will change that today.

AC Milan vs Rennes might be a boring match compare with Feyenord vs AS Roma.
But it might chance after one of the team -  Milan/Rennes score a goal, different with the other match where Feyenord will start attacking from the first minute because they knew if they are not able to win at home then their chance to qualify is very very slim.

Rennes has unbeaten in their last 9 games in all competitions, and win 8 of them.
Milan definitely will be the favorite but I feel Rennes can give a good fight.
My guess for this match, +1 Rennes and Under 2.5

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.

Yes, even though it looks like a match at the same level, I see the Italian team as maybe a little above the French and Dutch teams.
Milan will win easily at home, and in the second leg when they play at home to Rennes, maybe Rennes will make things a little more difficult but I'm sure Milan can handle it well.
Even though Roma is no longer in Mourinho's hands, with De Rossi, Roma shows different qualities. I'm sure Roma can overcome Feyenoord.
and I emphasize that this does not mean that the French and Dutch teams are not on par with the Italian teams, but in the European League the Italian teams are slightly above the French and Dutch teams.

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.
Perhaps one of the most equal matches of this round will be Feyenoord vs Roma.What these 2 teams can do is a complete surprise.Both teams have the potential to beat their opponents and pass the round and frankly it is not easy to predict who can pass the round, at least for me.Feyenoord will not lose to Roma at home today but I have my doubts that they can win.

 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.

Shakhtar Donetsk vs Marseille

Actually the performance of Shakhtar Donetsk during group stages of champion league is not really bad because they can collect 9 points from 6 matches Shakhtar Donetsk even have been able to beat Barcelona with narrow score so i think Shakhtar Donetsk can be categorized as strong opponent for Marseille and for Marseille they starting group stages with impressive performance but unfortunately Marseille have lost in the last match of group stages from Brighton and it makes them only able to finish as runner up position and now they have to fight at play off stages

The recent performance from these teams at their domestic league is not really good because they have been suffering several loses especially Marseille that this team was without the winning results in the last 5 matches in Ligue 1 so before this match Marseille condition is not really good and for Shakhtar Donetsk this team has been done several friendlies matches recently and they can gets 3 wins from 7 latest matches which is not impressive records for them and there was no meeting statistics for both teams because this is their first time to met at official tournament and although this is home match for Shakhtar Donetsk but their status as underdog team actually it's hard to predict the outcomes of this match although Marseille status as favourite team but i highly doubt they can being an the winner of this match and for safe bet i think both teams to scores is good

If UEFA Europa League game tonight between Lens and German Bundesliga club Freiburg was played by this time last season, I would've easily predicted that the French club was gonna win the game because of their consistent impressive performances of last season but since the start of the season, Lens have been a shadow of the side that closely battled with Paris Saint Germaine for the French league title last season. If I should bet on that game, I'll rather bet on a Lens win or draw instead of a direct win for the home team.

For AC Milan Rennes, I think the Italian club are easily gonna win the game then for Roma, this will be another strong game to text the tactical strength of their new manager Daniele De Rossi and I think it'll be a win or draw for the Italian club [/list]

Im only focusing on the match roma vs feyenoord. I don't see other interesting match than this one. It's caused by feyenoord was strong enough to compete against roma for the ticket to go to the top 16. Im putting my choice on roma and i hope it will be paid off. Roma is not yet performing so well after it was coached by the new coach.
I can't deny that how roma consistently won against medicre team but that's mediocre teams which were having lower qualities compared to the roma. I can't wait for the match to begin. We will be seeing how roma will be trying to win the game against feyenoord which is considerably as a strong club as well coz it gets dropped from UCL to the europa league caused by it can't compete with other candidates in UCL.

I'll be down for Lens to get three points today at home, they've had a good ride just in the very first season they got qualified for the UEFA European Competitions. Lens to definitely win.

For Ac Milan and Rennes, I'd say a fulltime draw game honestly. They both got a tight game over the weekend with same goalscoring and both won but tonight, sure gone be tough. All squared at ⁹⁰ Minutes!

Roma did play a tough side during weekend against Inter Milan, I'm hopeful they can still completely face this game. They should have won but odds currently against them. A win or draw would be peng. Same for Marseille and for the Gala game man, lol, I don't know. Much difficult than I thought it'll be.

Finally some fun, some games to see and some games with a good and equal level, Feyenoord against Rome and Milan Rennes are the two games what im gonna see, in the first one i have very high hopes of seeing a good electric game, in the second i dont know what kind of game we are gonna see.

I think Roma have always been stronger than Feyenoord. No matter their manager is Mourinho or De Rossi I mean. But now I see Feyenoord are quite favoured in the first leg of the matchup. 

I'm not intending to disrespect Feyenoord of course. They are a pretty decent team and they tried their best in the Champions League group stage as well. But there is still an important quality gap between these teams. Besides Roma already eliminated them twice not a long time ago.    I would have expected the odds to be closer than this. I don't expect Roma to lose today but the final score could be really a close one. 

Roma are currently not stronger than Feyenoord. Since the two teams are not in the same league, I will have confidence in Roma's strength to defeat Feyenoord if, for example, they manage to draw with Inter Milan. Roma lost to Inter Milan after winning their previous four league games. Feyenoord is clearly not a weak opponent, as shown by their current position in the Eredivisie league table. Roma performed well in the previous group stage, but I don't think that is good enough to defeat Feyenoord. Roma won against weak opponents, but they are not strong enough to defeat big team.

Since Danielle De Rossi became the new head coach, Roma has only been able to defeat weak teams; they are unable to compete with Inter Milan. We will have to wait and see how today's match turns out to determine whether Roma is back to their winning ways.

Peope are being overproud without even trying to know on what teams that have been faced by the team. There are many things were making me to think that if roma was not strong enough. The match against weak teams shall not be counted as a reliable match to measure how strong the club is now.
The match against the big club that is far stronger than roma can only become the only reliable data to measures the performance from roma. People were aware of that and this is the main problem owned by roma. People being overproud when rossi was only winning the game against mediorcre clubs.
The lost against intermilan has been telling all of the roma fans to wait and see. Feyenoord should not be underestimated as they were far from being a weak team. I have high hopes that Roma will have a successful outcome because I have placed my bet on them.
I pick double chance roma win or draw against feyenoord, It will be fucking disaster if roma will lose against feyenoord which was not a favorite club to win the competition. Roma can win the game as long as it playes consistently.

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.

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.
