Marseille vs Feyenoord
UEFA Europa Conference League
Semi-finals, 2nd leg
Thursday 5 May
21:00 CET kick-off
Stade de Marseille
Predictions
The visitors have lost just once on the road in this tournament. Their opponents meanwhile were knocked out of the Europa League, thanks to their poor home record. Considering these observations I had to back Feyenoord with an Asian handicap.
Following their five goal fixture in the first leg. Where both teams failed to show any quality in defence, a low scoring fixture is unlikely.

Marseille vs Feyenoord: Pre match conference
Jorge Sampaoli, Marseille coach: “We need to settle in their half of the pitch, dominate possession and take control of the game. We have done this throughout the season and this is why we are still in the race. If we get angry, we risk jeopardising our rhythm. We have our way of playing, and we have to respect it.”
Arne Slot, Feyenoord coach: “There will be times when Marseille are more in control, then we have to defend more than last week. Low defending is part of it but we are not consciously going to hang in front of our goal. If we have to drop far back, we have the right players to strike on the counterattack.”
