In what could be their last opportunity to bolster their Europa League playoff aspirations, Feyenoord prepares to face off against an unpredictable team that has traditionally struggled on Greek soil. The spotlight is on Ayase Ueda, a key player who has demonstrated remarkable form by scoring eight goals in his last six outings for both Japan and Feyenoord. With his recent performances likely to shine against this vulnerable opposition, Feyenoord is optimistic about turning their playoff fortunes around.

Feyenoord vs Panathinaikos Preview 


Apart from that one good performance against Young Boys, Panathinaikos are having a very poor campaign so far. Feyenoord are flying in Eredivisie and I am backing them to win on Thursday.

Stats 


  • Feyenoord have won 10 of their last 14 matches. 
  • Ayase Ueda has scored 8 goals in his last 6 matches for Japan & Feyenoord. 
  • Panathinaikos are winless in 10 of their last 15 matches. 

HTH 


Panathinaikos have a 2-0 advantage against Feyenoord with 1 draw in 3 matches. 

They last met in July 2019, the game being won by Panathinaikos 3-0. 

Feyenoord Form 


Feyenoord’s European appearances have been poor this season. After dropping out from the UCL qualifiers, they were also beaten in the EL group phase opener at Braga 1-0. 

Things didn’t improve much earlier this month, getting beaten by Aston Villa 2-0 in front of the Rotterdam crowd despite having 1.47-0.63 xG and 19-6 shots. 

Robin van Persie’s side is have a great time in Eredivisie though, collecting 25 out of possible 27 points and sit top of the table. Last weekend, they demolished Heracles 7-0 on the road, Ayase Ueda scoring three, Anis Hadj Moussa two goals. 

Panathinaikos Form 


Panathinaikos were labelled underdogs in their Europa League group phase opening match against Young Boys but left Switzerland with a convincing 4-1 victory, Anass Zaroury stealing the spotlight with his hat-trick. 

They were ahead for 75 minutes in the second round clash against Go Ahead Eagles at home (Karol Swiderski on target) but collapsed within the last 15 minutes and lost the encounter 2-1. 

The Greens from Athens are having a disastrous run in the Greek Super League 1, winning just two out of six games and sit in 7th place. Last weekend, they were held to a 1-1 draw by Aris. 

Team News 


Feyenoord have lengthy injury list ahead of this clash, Thomas Beelen, Gernot Trauner, Malcolm Jeng, Quinten Timber and Jakub Moder all being sidelined. 

As for the visitors, midfielder Renato Sanches is out due to a muscle injury while Cyriel Dessers is recovering from an ankle sprain. 

Predicted Starting Lineups  


Feyenoord: Wellenreuther, Smal, Watanabe, Ahmedhodzic, Reid, Valente, Hwang, Steijn, Sauer, Ueda, Hadj-Moussa 

Panathinaikos: Lafont, Kyriakopoulos, Touba, Palmer-Brown, Kotsiras, Gnezda-Cerin, Chirivella, Bakasetas, Zaroury, Swiderski, Tete 

Verdict

This is arguably the final chance for Feyenoord to revive their EL playoff hopes and I will back them to take it against inconsistent opposition who struggle in Greece.

I am also predicting in-form Ayase Ueda to find the net on Thursday since he bagged eight times in his last six appearances for Japan and Feyenoord.
