Feyenoord – Inter

Inter can seal a pragmatic victory

On Wednesday, 5 March, Feyenoord will play at home against Inter. The Dutch team was definitely not expected to be here - Feije sensationally knocked out Milan. This time there are even fewer chances on the line. The main problem of Feyenoord is a huge number of injuries. The team in the exsanguinated squad was able to pass Milan. They had to sacrifice results in their league. In the Eredivisie, Feyenoord have a very sad schedule. The team is already thirteen points behind Ajax in the championship race. Moreover there is a risk of not even getting into the top three and not qualifying for the Champions League. The club is two points behind the modest Utrecht. In the last five matches managed to win only twice. At the weekend, Robin van Persie's charges did not even beat Nijmegen at home (0:0). The official injury list now includes ten players. The main loss is Quinten Timber. The midfielder scored six goals in the championship before the injury. Inter could not rest in the championship. In this regard, the Dutch have a definite advantage. Simone Inzaghi's team gave a hundred per cent in Naples and missed the victory. The game turned out to be very difficult - the guests were not shy to act from defence. A draw is a comfortable result in terms of strategic position. Inter maintained their lead in Serie A, but still suffered a painful emotional blow. An important advantage of the Italian champion is the huge possibilities within the rotation. Pawar, Zielinski, Correa, Frattesi and De Vrey - such players came on as substitutes in Naples. Arnautovic, Taremi and Arslani - not the last players in Serie A - are also in the reserves. Now Inter have only Darmian, Zalewski, Carboni and Carlos Augusto injured - not fatal losses. But what you should worry about is the goalkeeper position. Now Josep Martinez is coming out from the first minute. The Spaniard has hardly played for Inter before, the 26-year-old goalkeeper has no experience of big matches. The main goalkeeper Jann Sommer is out for a few weeks. The loss of the goalkeeper is unlikely to affect the final result. Feyenoord have too big problems with the squad. They managed to beat Milan, but Inter are one of the strongest clubs in Europe with a structured and pragmatic football. Here it is just worth considering betting on the total. Bookmakers believe that the meeting will be top. The odds for such a development of events - 1.75. Inter on the background of fatigue can calmly play and 1:0. The team knows how to control such meetings. Feyenoord are unlikely to risk opening up in the first match. In eight previous games, the total of more than three was not broken.
