In the Preliminary Round 3 of the Europa League on Thursday, starting at 18:00, the game will be played in Trencin – Feyenoord. The match will take place on “Stadion na Sihoti”, followed by a return later a week later.
The host team offered a real show in the final round of the championship after winning the Sered, 5-1. Thus, he rejoined the fans after the defeat in the first round, 1-4 with Ruzomberok, even on his own ground. With morale at maximum odds, Trencin is now pushing for the Europa League play-off, but the mission does not make it easy at all. In the previous preliminary tours he scored three victories and a tie result.
In five of the last seven matches played at home in European Cups, goals scored in both gates.
On the other side, the guests started with the new season, succeeding in winning the Dutch Suceava. Although they had to move to “Philips Stadion” to confront PSV, they were forced to score a 6-5 penalty shootout. During the regular time the table did not undergo any changes. It was for the fourth time in history when the “South Mandria” passed its trophy.
Under the command of van Bronckhorst, Feyenoord only made an appearance in the previous season of the Champions League. In a group with Man.City, Sahtior and Napoli, he managed to raise only three points after defeating the Italian team by 2-1, in the last match of the group. The match against Trencin will be the first direct confrontation between the two bands.
PREDICTION: Feyenoord to win @ 1.80
