Needing to avoid defeat to secure a place in the round of 16, Feyenoord travel to Slavia Prague for their penultimate fixture in Group E of the UEFA Europa Conference League. They are up against a Slavia Prague side who are also bang in form at the moment and both teams are likely to serve up a thrilling encounter.
Slavia Prague are heading into Thursday’s clash in excellent form having won their last five matches across all competitions. They have claimed 5-0 victories in their last two matches, beating Pardubice and Jablonec in the Czech Liga.
Jindrich Trpisovsky’s men are also having a decent campaign in the Conference League with two wins and as many defeats from their four matches. They sit second in Group E and saw off Maccabi Haifa 1-0 in their previous fixture in the competition.
Slavia Prague’s five goals in each of their last two matches points to a prolific attack that often takes its chances. However, they have been unconvincing at the back in the Conference League keeping just one clean sheet from their four matches.
Feyenoord began their Europa Conference League campaign with a 0-0 draw at Maccabi Haifa and have just gotten better as the tournament progressed. They have won their last three matches and are sitting top of Group E with 10 points.
The Dutch side claimed a 2-1 victory over Union Berlin in their previous fixture in the competition with Luis Sinisterra and Cyril Dessers getting the goals. That result is part of an impressive run which has seen them win their last six matches across all competitions.
Like Slavia Prague, Feyenoord boast plenty of quality in attack and have a knack for claiming one sided wins. Arne Slot’s men warmed up for the trip to Prague with a 4-0 victory over PEC Zwolle in an Eredivisie clash last Sunday.
