Feyenoord Faces Tough Challenge Against Real Betis in Europa League

omidbasir- On Thursday, Feyenoord will face Real Betis in the Europa League. Following their victory over Sturm Graz last week, they still have a slim chance of progressing to the knockout stage. However, a challenging task awaits in southern Spain, especially as coach Robin van Persie is contending with numerous injuries among his players. Who will take the field on Thursday night?

**Probable Lineup for Feyenoord Against Real Betis: Van Persie’s Challenge**

While the midweek match against Sturm Graz ended favorably with a 3-0 win, complications arose for Van Persie and his team during their weekend match. Ultimately, they secured a 4-2 victory over Heracles Almelo, but the game was fraught with difficulties. It became clear on Sunday evening that players Anel Ahmedhodzic, Hwang In-beom, Luciano Valente, and Tsuyoshi Watanabe were all sidelined due to injuries. Additionally, Anis Hadj Moussa exited the field in pain, further complicating their situation.

**Midfield Puzzle with Starters in Attack**

The main concern now is determining who is fit enough to start in the midfield. Former captain Sem Steijn had played behind the forwards against Sturm Graz but found himself back on the bench for the match against Heracles. Unfortunately, he sustained an injury during training in preparation for the Sevilla clash, making him unlikely to participate.

**Feyenoord’s Likely Formation Against Real Betis (4-3-3)**

Wellenreuther; Lotomba, Kraaijeveld, Plug, Bos; Hwang, Targhalline, Valente; Hadj Moussa, Tengstedt, Sauer.
