UEFA Europa League
Feyenoord eagerly await the arrival of AS Roma to Rotterdam for the highly-anticipated first-leg clash of their Europa League Quarter-Final. The hosts are riding high on their remarkable Round of 16 performance, where they netted a staggering seven goals against Shakhtar Donetsk in front of their fervent home crowd, ultimately securing an impressive 8-2 aggregate victory.

With both teams in formidable form, this promises to be a closely contested encounter. However, Feyenoord’s awe-inspiring home record, backed by their unwavering support, could potentially give them the crucial edge. As the stage is set for an enthralling battle, all eyes will be on Feyenoord’s home ground, where they will look to continue their remarkable run and secure an advantage in this eagerly awaited Quarter-Final showdown against AS Roma.

Juventus heads into this match following a recent 2-1 loss to Lazio in Serie A, just four days after a 1-1 draw with Inter in the Coppa Italia. Despite the recent setbacks, Juventus has been solid defensively in the Europa League, conceding only once in their four games while scoring an impressive seven goals. In fact, throughout the season, they have only lost three times at home in all competitions, with two of those losses occurring in the Champions League.
On the other hand, Sporting Lisbon has been on a formidable unbeaten run since mid-February, with their last defeat in Liga Portugal coming against Porto in a 2-1 loss. Their last away defeat was on January 8th, in a narrow 1-0 loss to Maritimo. Sporting qualified for this round of the Europa League after defeating Arsenal on penalties, showcasing their determination and resilience.
However, Sporting will be without the services of Manuel Ugarte, which could be a significant loss for the team. This may give Juventus the advantage, as they aim to secure a win in front of their passionate home fans. With their defensive prowess and home advantage, Juventus will be determined to bounce back from their recent defeats and claim victory in this crucial match against Sporting Lisbon.
