Feyenoord v Roma is a matchup like an early finale in this tournament in my opinion. The reason why I think in this way is that these teams already played against each other in the Europa Conference League finale in the previous season. Besides both of them are still very strong in this season as well. Feyenoord are even stronger this season as they are fighting really hard for the Eredivisie title on one hand. They have a really good advantage in the standings as well.
Hence I think they can focus on the Europa League easily too. They must be wishing to have revenge on Roma as well - You know Roma defeated them in that finale. But I still expect Roma to eliminate them by a slight margin.
I think it's not about the early final but the revenge match, because there are still other matches that bring together the top teams against the top teams. So the match between AS Roma v Feyenoord I think cannot be assumed as an early final, but more towards a match with a revenge mission.
Yes indeed, because in this season Feyenoord are also dominating the Eredivisie, so of course, this season Feyenoord has performed better than last season when they lost by AS Roma in the Europa Conference League. So, with good domination in the local league this season, I personally believe Feyenoord have just as good a chance to win. Because I think AS Roma is sometimes unstable, so these factors can make AS Roma fail to qualify.
I agree with you, it's more accurate to say this is a revenge match for Feyenoord than a final match at the start. This match will be difficult to predict because the last time they met was in the final match, it shows that the two clubs are on the same level, even though in the end Feneyord had to admit AS Roma's superiority in the final match. Obviously the situation will be different now, Feyenoord are currently in a good trend in the local competition, so they will try to make their mission successful in getting their revenge from AS Roma last season.
