Luzern – Feyenoord

Feyenoord able to pass previous round only thanks to a late goal against Drita in second leg after drawn in first leg and suffered two goals against by a team surely some level weaker. But guests can take advantage from an opponent with huge defensive problems as shown their results in Swiss league.

Luzern scored five goals, but suffered six ones, too, in first two local league matches and last season regular keeper Muller that remain out as against Sankt Gallen. Other misses for them are key midf. Schurpf ( 6g lasts eason, author of two of the three goals agai9nst YB) and otehr two players, while last season topscorer Sorgic ( 1/13g last season) is doubtful. Geertruida ( def.25+5 5g) only miss for guests, while topscorer Berghuis (19g) gone to Ajax.

Trainer of geusts declares they gave to many occasions to Drita and will work hard to avoid this against Luzern, i think that with the problems and weakness at the back for hosts – also without strong public factor, only 4000 fans admitted and probable many fans will not enter in stadium as protest against covid-rules – Feyenoord can gain at least a draw.

Slovan – Young Boys   2   1.75

In the second qualifying round for the Champions League, Slovan Bratislava welcomes Young Boys. The difference in quality is noticed and I fancy Young boys to deliver in the first match already. The teams have played before and Young Boys won with 3:1 and 5:0. Slovan went past Shamrock Rovers in round one but with great difficulty. They won at home but lost away and 1 goal decided the tie. It is nothing new that Slovan struggles against weak teams. They were eliminated by Sutjeska and Klaksvik in the previous years. Young Boys were eliminated by Midtjylland last year but now is another chance. They have a new coach who is eager for good results. Young Boys miss captain Lustenberger and the first attacker Nsame but I feel that Young Boys will still be too strong.
