Feyenoord vs Como — Tips & Analysis

Feyenoord +0.75: This looks like a tight, nervy night in Rotterdam, and that is what we are backing. Feyenoord have lost only 1 of their last 15 games, winning 9 and tying 5. They score more than 2 goals a game, though that number is lifted by heavy league wins like 7-0 at PEC Zwolle and 5-0 against Utrecht. In front of a full De Kuip they are hard to beat, and a start with no points on the board will push them forward. Como deserve plenty of respect. They have won 10, tied 4 and lost 3 of their last 17, and they let in a goal a game. They have also beaten RB Leipzig 4-1, tied 0-0 with Roma and won 2-1 at Napoli. On the road they have 6 wins, 2 ties and 3 losses and score almost 2 goals a game. Their problem is Moise Kean. He is out, and Douvikas is expected to lead the line instead, so Como may not punish everything a makeshift home defense gives up. A 1-1 finish is the likeliest result, and a close game like that is just what this pick wants. Be careful here, though. Feyenoord are missing eight players, four of them regular defenders in Beelen, Bos, Nieuwkoop and Smal. Their one game at this level ended 1-5 at Barcelona, so if Como click this can get away from them. We still think Feyenoord stay close.
