FEYENOORD-BLACKBURN ROVERS


I must say that, having seen Rovers on several occasions recently, they have left me singularly unimpressed.

They have not won a league game in almost two months and look decidedly goal shy, having scored just twice in 6 starts.

UEFA Cup results have been better and their two group wins to date, mean that they do not NEED to win this evening. The 3-0 victory over Basle was particularly lucky and extremely flattering, goalkeeping heroics from Brad Friedel keeping them in the game.

Tonight they will be without two defensive kingpins in Neil and Henchoz.

Feyenoord have recovered after a poor start to the season and are on a five match winning run, including a fine 3-2 win over AZ, at the weekend.

Their extensive injury list, which has plagued them all season, is slowly easing and coach Erwin Koeman has more options at his disposal, than for many weeks.

The Rotterdam giants need the win, both to keep the run going and to further their european ambitions, they are a decent price to achieve it.

4 points Feyenoord -1/4 ball asian line 2.075.

Good Luck.
