Feyenoord and Glasgow Rangers meet on Thursday evening, at 17:55 pm, in stage five of the UEFA Europa League groups. The Dutch have a high stake in betting, because the Rangers are a skillful team, excellent put in the field by coach Steven Gerrard.
Without Bijlow and Van Beek, Feyenoord hopes to take a big step towards the knockout phase, while Rangers come on De Kuip without Jones, injured in the knee. The two teams should provide a quality performance, given that their homogeneity is at good odds, and the physical level of the players is encouraging. The draw is a likely result in this match.
Young Boys leads the group G (goal 6-4), being equal points with Rangers, seven. The Scots have a 5-3 goal and three points ahead of Feyenoord (3-4 goal), who still dream of qualifying. With a success on their own ground, the Dutch would return strongly in the qualification calculations, which is why they bet heavily on the success of the batsmen. FC Porto is in 4th place and also has chances to qualify, with four points accumulated so far.
Feyenoord started the season hard (including in Europe), which is why the team coached by Dick Advocaat (former manager at Ibrox at Rangers) has a lot to work on now. But the Rotterdam team comes after convincing victories with Venlo (3-0) and RKC Waalwijk (3-2), but also after draws with Young Boys (1-1) and Groningen (1-1). Steven Berghuis will be very dangerous in the hosts’ camp after proving to be very effective in the UEFA Europa League this season.
Overall, the evolution of white-reds is growing and offers hope for the future. Instead, Rangers is on the wave and comes after five consecutive wins in all competitions: 4-0 with Ross County, 3-0 with Hearts, 2-0 with FC Porto, 2-0 with Livingston and 3-1 at Hamilton. In the round, Rangers crossed Feyenoord to the limit, 1-0, after a very balanced match.
