Feyenoord vs. Celtic: Match Prediction
Having reached the halfway point of the main stage of the Europa League, both teams find themselves in less than ideal standings. I anticipate that both sides will be aiming for victory in the upcoming match, leading to an attacking game that, given the defensive issues both teams face, promises to deliver entertaining football.
The Dutch side has conceded in their last 7 Europa League matches. Even at home, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 10 of their last 13 games in this tournament. However, it is worth noting that Feyenoord has scored 21 goals in their last 8 home Europa League matches.
Celtic's away performances continue to be eventful. The Scots have a 13-match scoring streak in the Europa League, finding the net against some formidable opponents. However, the team has conceded in 10 consecutive away matches in this tournament, with 9 of those matches seeing them concede at least two goals.
My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
