Feyenoord, the 1970 Champions League winners, are no stranger to the competition, but their journey through the group stage has historically proven challenging. In their bid to reach the knockout rounds, this may be their best chance in recent years. The Dutch side showcased their potential by outperforming Celtic on the opening day and delivering a commendable performance in Madrid, despite a 3-2 loss to Atletico.
Facing Lazio is a familiar territory for Feyenoord, with their cross-town rivals, Roma, having posed significant challenges in recent European campaigns. However, Feyenoord managed to secure a win over Lazio in a previous Europa League encounter, beating them 1-0 at De Kuip. This victory not only demonstrated their capabilities but also solidified their positive record against Serie A sides, having lost just one of their last nine encounters with Italian clubs at home.
Feyenoord’s confidence is riding high, coming off a dominant 4-0 victory against Vitesse. They have won seven consecutive league games, amassing an impressive 23 points from a possible 27, with an average of over 3.5 goals per game.

On the other side of the pitch, Lazio are also determined to advance to the Champions League knockout stages for the second consecutive time, having achieved this feat in the 2020-21 season. Their campaign has been off to a dramatic start, earning four points from their opening two Champions League games in thrilling fashion. Late goals have been their hallmark, securing a valuable point against Atletico and clinching a win in Glasgow against Celtic.
The monumental 95th-minute goal by Ivan Provedel in the opening matchday stands as a testament to the captivating nature of this competition. Lazio’s victory in Glasgow ended a 10-game winless streak in away fixtures in the Champions League. This breakthrough has boosted their confidence for future away matches.
Lazio has also experienced a resurgence in Serie A, winning four of their last five matches after a lackluster start to the season. They have climbed up to ninth place in the domestic league, displaying a significant improvement in their form.
In the aftermath of Feyenoord’s convincing 4-0 victory, the team suffered a setback as Santiago Gimenez and Yankuba Minteh picked up injuries that might sideline them for the upcoming clash. Gimenez, who scored the only goal in their previous win over Lazio, will be a notable absence. Luka Ivanusec is doubtful due to a minor ankle injury, while Gernot Trauner will be absent with a knee injury.
For Lazio, Ciro Immobile is set to return, bolstering their attacking options. In his absence, Taty Castellanos has been in impressive form, scoring and assisting in recent matches. The return of Mattia Zaccagni is also anticipated, and he is likely to replace Pedro, who etched his name in Lazio’s history as the oldest Champions League goalscorer after his heroics in Glasgow.

The absence of Gimenez would be a significant blow for Feyenoord, as he proved to be the difference-maker in their previous encounter with Lazio. In a game that could be decided by fine margins, expect a closely contested battle.
