Feyenoord v Lazio Prediction, Odds and Betting Tips

🏆 Feyenoord v Lazio

While these two sides have both experienced significant peaks during their illustrious histories, they’ve only met four times in official UEFA competition. The first two meetings took place during the 1999/00 UCL second group stage, with Lazio earning a 0-0 draw at De Kuip before slumping to a 2-1 home defeat thanks to two late goals from striker Jon Dahl Tomasson. These sides were also drawn into Europa League Group F last season, while Lazio winning 4-2 at the Stadio Olimpico on September 8th and Feyenoord gaining a modicum of revenge with a 1-0 victory at home on November 3rd.

Interestingly, Feyenoord have averaged 57.0% possession across their two UCL games so far, while the corresponding figure for Lazio is much lower at just 47.5%. This reflects manager Arne Slot’s progressive playing style, while it suggests that the Dutch side is likely to dominate the ball at De Kuip. Feyenoord also boasts the fifth highest expected goals value of 4.0 in this year’s tournament, while the side’s average of 28.50 shot-creating actions per 90 also highlights their ability to create chances.

Feyenoord have also attempted a UCL high of eight tackles in the final third, with the team known to press high up the pitch and box their opponents in. Given these factors and Lazio’s relatively inconsistent form, I’m tipping the home side to impose themselves and win in an encounter where both sides score in the Netherlands.

💯 Feyenoord v Lazio UCL Match Odds

Despite Feyenoord’s impressive form and performance stats this season, this contest features two evenly matched sides and is incredibly tough to call. Fortunately, there are numerous betting markets that you can target as a punter, including the match winner and outcome, whether both sides will score or not and the over/under on total goals scored in the game.

🥅 Feyenoord v Lazio: Over/Under 2.5 Goals

These teams certainly aren’t strangers to goals at either end of the pitch, with their combined 23 matches in 2023/24 yielding an impressive 75 goals at 3.26 per game. This is highly informative if you want to wager on the over/under for total number of goals scored in the game, especially at the popular betting line of 2.5 goals.

Under/Over
Over 2.5 Goals	1.62	1.67	1.62	1.70	1.65
Under 2.5 Goals	2.15	2.20	2.13	2.15	2.15

1️⃣ Feyenoord Update

Feyenoord’s stuttering start to the 2023/24 season is now well and truly behind them, with the team having won nine of their previous 10 games and only experienced defeat to Atlético Madrid in the UCL. They’ve also scored 34 goals during this run, while conceding just seven times and scoring four or more goals on five separate occasions. In the Champions League, Feyenoord’s tally of 50 progresive carries (excluding those that end in the defensive half of the pitch) also puts them among the tournament’s best sides by this metric, further highlighting the relentlessly progressive nature of the team and their penchant for sustaining attacks high up the pitch.

Feyenoord will definitely be without two players for the game with Lazio, namely Yankuba Minteh (hamstring injury) and Gernot Trauner (knee problems). However, talented winger Luka Ivanusec may be fit after missing seven games with a ligament issue, but the game may come a little too soon for him to start.

2️⃣ Lazio Update

Despite finishing second in Serie A last season, Lazio have endured a frustrating 2023/24 campaign so far, losing three of their first four league matches and only winning five of their 11 games across all competitions. However, they have experienced something of an upturn in fortunes more recently, losing just one of their last seven matches and managing to win four of these. It’s also important to note that while their collective performance stats in this season’s UCL aren’t as impressive as Feyenoord’s, they’re unbeaten in the competition so far and earned a highly credible point in Madrid against Atletico in gameweek one.

Lazio almost have a fully fit squad to choose from ahead of their trip to the Netherlands, although winger Cristiano Lombardi remains absent with an unknown injury. However, the 28-year-old isn’t part of Lazio’s Champions League squad, so this won’t effect their plans for the Feyenoord game.
