Feyenoord will be looking to claim a first leg advantage when they host Slavia Prague in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa Conference League. The Dutch side got the better of their rivals during the group stage and are expected to once again come out on top.
It has been a fine campaign in the Europa Conference League for Feyenoord, who have suffered just one defeat in the competition. They did the double over Partizan Belgrade to reach the quarter-finals, winning 3-1 at home after claiming a 5-2 victory in the first leg in Serbia.
Feyenoord head into Thursday’s clash in good form having suffered just one defeat in their last seven matches across all competitions. They have claimed four wins in that run, including a 2-0 victory over Willem II in the Eredivisie last Saturday.
Home form has been pivotal for Feyenoord, who are unbeaten in their last six matches in front of their fans. Arne Slot's men also have a 100% record from seven Europa Conference League matches at De Kuip this season.
Slavia Prague do not travel to Feyenoord in the best form and have claimed just one win from their last four matches across all competitions. They warmed up for Thursday’s clash with a 1-1 draw with Viktoria Plzen in the Czech Liga last Sunday.
The Czech club did not have the smoothest ride to the quarter-finals and were made to work hard by LASK in the round of 16. They were beaten 4-3 in Austria but a 4-1 victory in the home leg of the tie ensured progress.
The result in Austria is typical of Slavia Prague’s recent record on their travels as they are winless in their last three away matches, suffering two defeats in that run. Jindrich Trpisovsky’s men have also been victorious just once in five away matches in the Conference League.
