Shakhtar Donetsk vs Feyenoord Prediction: Betting on the home team

In the Europa League Qualifying Playoff the opponent of Shakhtar Donetsk will be the Dutch Feyenoord. Despite the factor of the field the bookmakers are on the side of the Dutch team, while the Miners started the spring part of the season very successfully in the UPL and have already managed to knock out not a weak French club from the European Cup.

In 2023, Shakhtar played four official matches. In the UPL, they beat Minai 4:1 and Metalist 1925 from Kharkiv 7:0. In the UEFA Champions League, they knocked the French side Rennes out of the tournament. That said, Shakhtar vs. Rennes was initially considered an outsider. The results in the UPL show that the Miners are in good shape. The upcoming match will take place in Warsaw, but it is worth noting that they have not played at their home stadium for a very long time. The Miners are used to visiting matches.

The team has a 5-match winning streak. In the Dutch championship, Feyenoord beat Heerenveen, AZ, Fortuna, and Groningen in this period. The future guests were stronger in the Dutch Cup than the same Heerenveen. Feyenoord leads in the Dutch championship standings with +3 points from the nearest pursuer, Ajax. Feyenoord's away statistics are third in the division, +8=3-1, 30:16 goal difference. Recall that Feyenoord won Group F at the Europa League group stage, beating Denmark's Midtjylland, Italy's Lazio, and Austria's Sturm.

Both teams approached the first leg of the Europa League Qualifying Playoff in good mood and form. Shakhtar knocked out not-weak French Rennes and beat two UPL teams in the two opening matches of the spring stage, scoring 11 goals in the two games. Feyenoord, in turn, has not lost a single match in 2023. They lead in their national championship, which also says a lot. We believe that Thursday will be an eventful match in which both teams will be able to distinguish themselves. As for the outcome, we put our money on Shakhtar's win because the Miners need only a win in Warsaw to advance to the European cup quarterfinals.
