Team News

Feyenoord
AC Milan
  • Feyenoord will be without five injured players here, including the likes of Calvin Stengs, Jordan Lotomba and goalkeeper Justin Bijlow.
  • After his late January window departure, prolific striker Santiago Gimenez will likely be lining up on the opposing side at Stadion Feijenoord, just nine days after leaving the club.
  • Feyenoord sacked manager Brian Priske on Monday with Pascal Bosschaart placed in interim charge in what is a bold call by the Dutch side.
  • Midfielder Yunus Musah is missing through suspension for Milan, who are also set to be without right-backs Alessandro Florenzi and Emerson Royal.
  • Ruben Loftus-Cheek is a doubt here, as he recovers from a hamstring issue.

Prediction

  • After finishing 19th and 13th respectively in the league phase, Feyenoord will host Milan in the first leg of their play-off tie, hoping to secure a place in the round of 16.
  • The hosts were well and truly dismantled in Lille on matchday eight, falling apart in a 6-1 defeat, but still earned progression to this stage.
  • Milan, meanwhile, were beaten by Dinamo Zagreb on the final league phase matchday, and are three games unbeaten since that trip to Croatia.
  • This will be the first competitive meeting between these two sides since a round of 16 tie in the 1969/70 European Cup, when Feyenoord triumphed on aggregate to progress.
  • Expect an attacking, entertaining contest in Rotterdam, with goals at both ends and potentially scores level heading into next week's second leg.
