Feyenoord vs Shakhtar Prediction: the End of the Tied Confrontation

Prediction for the Europa League Feyenoord vs Shakhtar match, which will take place on March 16th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Feyenoord is in excellent condition for the return leg against Shakhtar. The team has not lost 15 games in a row; only five ended in a draw. Of course, they top the national league standings with such figures, having taken a three-point lead over second Ajax.

Feyenoord did not live up to expectations in their opening game against Shakhtar. The Dutch club outplayed their opponents on all fronts, but they failed to take the lead because of the ridiculous mistakes in defense and poor realization. Thus, according to xG statistics, Feyenoord scored 2.12 goals, while the rival had only 0.28, but the final score was 1:1.

Frankly, Shakhtar was quite lucky in their first game against Feyenoord, but things could be completely different on the field in the Netherlands. The Donetsk club mostly played defensively, rarely escaping on the counterattack, one of which bore fruit. If Donetsk performs similarly in the return game, they cannot qualify for the next stage.

Shakhtar is noticeably inferior to Feyenoord, as evidenced by the first meeting between these teams. The opponents sealed a tie, but the Dutch club played way better. Of course, at home, they will not allow themselves to waste so many chances.
