Feyenoord and Shakhtar Donetsk are facing off for the last time in the Europa League playoffs on Thursday. A draw result in the first tie means this game is open to both teams heading into the second leg but I have no doubts Feyenoord is going to qualify for the quarter finals. I will be picking the Dutch team to win for the following reasons;

[1] You can say that Feyenoord is the best team in the Dutch league ahead of teams like Ajax and PSV Eindhoven. It has not been an easy ride for Feyenoord as they reached this stage of the competition while also being the best side in the Netherlands. Apart from the scoreline, the first leg was far from competitive as Feyenoord easily carved out Shakhtar Donetsk but didn't convert their many chances. It is only a matter of time before Feyenoord goes ahead on aggregate in this tie and I'm very confident they will beat Shakhtar Donetsk at home. They have assembled one of the deadliest teams in this competition with Danilo and Orkun Kokcu terrorizing defenses in the Europa League. Shakhtar Donetsk is a decent team in their domestic league but there is very little they can do in Europe against quality teams like Feyenoord.

[2] Shakhtar Donetsk is winless in their last two games in the Europa League and their performances away from home have not been convincing for anybody to bet on them. Feyenoord who is unbeaten in all competitions this year is ready to pounce on the visitors when they visit the Stadion Feijenoord on Thursday. It is hard not to back Feyenoord looking at the string of performances they have gotten at home in all competitions. They are unbeaten at home in all competitions with eleven wins in 16 home games. I can assure you that there are not many teams in Europe that can boast of this record and on Thursday, we should be witnessing another easy win for Arne Slot's Feyenoord.

Feyenoord are odds on favorites to reach the quarter-finals and I'm very confident they can do this on home soil. They got a good result in the first leg and I'm tipping this game to finish in a home win for the Dutchmen.

费耶诺德和顿涅茨克矿工将在周四的欧联杯季后赛中进行最后一次对决。第一场平局意味着两队都有机会进入次回合，但我毫不怀疑费耶诺德将晋级四分之一决赛。我会选择荷兰队获胜，原因如下:

你可以说费耶诺德是荷兰联赛中最好的球队，领先于阿贾克斯和埃因霍温。对于费耶诺德来说，这不是一段轻松的旅程，因为他们到达了这个阶段的比赛，同时也是荷兰最好的球队。除了比分之外，首回合的竞争并不激烈，费耶诺德轻松地击败了顿涅茨克矿工，但并没有抓住很多机会。费耶诺德在这场比赛中总比分领先只是时间问题，我很有信心他们会在主场击败顿涅茨克矿工。他们已经组建了这场比赛中最致命的球队之一，达尼洛和奥尔昆·科库在欧联杯中恐吓防守。顿涅茨克矿工在国内联赛中是一支不错的球队，但在欧洲，面对费耶诺德这样的强队，他们几乎无能为力。

顿涅茨克矿工在最近两场欧联杯中一胜未胜，他们在客场的表现也没有让人相信他们。费耶诺德今年在各项赛事中保持不败，他准备在周四做客费耶诺德球场时向客队发起猛攻。看看费耶诺德在所有比赛中的表现，很难不支持他们。他们在16个主场比赛中取得11场胜利，在各项赛事中保持不败。我可以向你保证，在欧洲没有多少球队可以夸耀这个记录，在周四，我们将见证阿恩·斯鲁特的费耶诺德又一次轻松获胜。

费耶诺德很有希望进入四分之一决赛，我很有信心他们能在本土做到这一点。他们在首回合取得了不错的成绩，我认为这场比赛将以荷兰人的主场胜利结束。
