Feyenoord have made their home a fortress and can win this game by a scoreline of 2-1.
Feyenoord to take vital advantage to Rome
Although this is unusual for a European competition, there is a strong form line between these two sides as they have played in each of the last two seasons.
They met in this competition last term, with each winning their home game. Two years ago, they faced off in the Europa Conference League Final, with Roma winning 1-0.
The home side are the favourites to be the winner of the latest contest at appealing odds of 2.00. They have played 17 matches at home in all competitions, winning 12. They are yet to taste defeat at any venue in 2024 so they appear to be a valuable option to start my tips.
Bet 1: Feyenoord to win @ 2.00 with Bet9ja
No let up expected from the hosts
Knowing his side lost 2-1 (4-1 after extra-time) in the away head-to-head last term, Arnie Slot will be keen to take a bigger advantage to Rome this time round.
This is especially important because they were eliminated from the Champions League after losing all three away games.
Roma are a disappointing 6th in Serie A this season and have conceded 30 goals, the most of any side in the top half.
A look at the stats tells us they have kept just one clean sheet in their last nine competitive fixtures. Feyenoord have scored multiple goals in five of their last seven home fixtures. They have also beaten Lazio 3-1 and Celtic 2-0 in home fixtures during their Champions League campaign.
Bet 2: Feyenoord over 1.5 team goals @ 2.00 with bet365
Santiago Gimenez to rediscover his goal touch
Santiago Gimenez is the man the home fans are counting on to lead their side to a first leg advantage. Since signing from Cruz Azul, the 22-year-old has netted 44 goals in 73 appearances across all competitions for Feyenoord.
The Mexican international hit five goals in nine Europa League appearances last term. He has scored twice in four Champions League outings this campaign. He will be keen to end a run of five games without a goal and he can do it here.
Bet 3: Santiago Gimenez to score @ 2.60 with Bet9ja
Welcome Mats to take on the shots
For the last of my predictions, I am going to the player prop market. With a host of attacking talent on show, it may come as a surprise that I am choosing Mats Wieffer, a defensive midfielder, to have over 1.5 shots.
The 24-year-old seems to be enjoying European nights at De Kuip with its electric atmosphere. He scored the only goal of the game with a volley when these two met here last year.
Wieffer scored his first Champions League goal in the last European fixture here in November in a 3-1 defeat to Atletico Madrid.
He had a shot in four of those six group games, hitting this line against Celtic and Lazio. The Netherlands international has had at least one shot in his last 16 appearances for his club, with at least two attempts at goal in both his last two fixtures.
Bet 4: Mats Wieffer Over 1.5 Shots @ 3.00 with bet365
