Feyenoord will not hibernate in the Champions League this year. But the European adventure is not over, as the Rotterdammers are already assured of a third place in the group. This place entitles you to play the intermediate round of the Europa League. Which opponents will Feyenoord possibly face in this round? 1908.nl is already looking ahead.
Group A
In group A, the final group match will see the battle for group victory between West Ham United and SC Freiburg. West Ham United has the head-to-head result and will therefore only need a draw, which is what that means SC Freiburg is one of Feyenoord’s possible opponents.
Group B
The Amsterdam team will no longer participate in this group for a place in the Europa League and in this group too the top two teams will compete in a direct duel for the group win. Olympique Marseille has a point lead, but a difficult away match awaits Brighton & Hove Albion.
Group C
Three teams can still finish in second place in group C. Real Betis, as number 1 in the group, will play a match against number 2, Rangers FC. This means that Sparta Prague can take second place if they win against Aris Limassol. So everything is still open in this group.
Group D
In this group D it is already certain that Atalanta has won the group and that Sporting CP finishes second in the group. This is therefore one of Feyenoord’s possible opponents in the interim round.
Group E
In group E, Liverpool is certain of the group win and Toulouse has almost certainly secured second place after a draw against Union St. Gillis. Only when Union St. Gillis beats Liverpool by a large margin will the Belgians be eligible for second place. However, Toulouse only needs a draw against LASK and therefore also seems to be a possible opponent of the Rotterdam team.
Group F
With a three-point lead, Stade Rennais is in a good position for the group win, especially since it still has a home game to play. However, the opponent is the number 2 in the group; Villareal. If Stade Rennais loses, it is a potential opponent of Feyenoord, with any other result Villareal will become a possible opponent of Feyenoord.
Group G
Slavia Prague has the best credentials to become group winner in group G. With a home win over Servette FC, Slavia is assured of the eighth finals. In that case, AS Roma is one of Feyenoord’s possible opponents. They play a home match against FC Sheriff and have to hope for a slip by Slavia Prague.
Group H
While Bayer Leverkusen is certain of a group win in the last group, FK Qarabag and Molde FK are fighting for a place in the intermediate round of the Europa League. FK Qarabag has the best credentials for this place. They play at home against the winless BK Häcken. Molde FK is clearly having a more difficult time and is visiting the group leader.
Prediction of possible opponents Feyenoord according to 1908.nl: SC Freiburg, Olympique Marseille, Sparta Praag, Sporting CP, Toulouse, Villarreal, AS Roma, FK Qarabag
It is certain that Feyenoord will start the intermediate round with a match in De Kuip. This match will be played on Thursday, February 15, 2024. The return will take place a week later, on Thursday, February 22, 2024. If Feyenoord emerges as the winner of these two matches, the Rotterdam team will end up in the draw for the eighth finals of the Europa League taking place on Friday 23 February 2024.
The draw for the interim round will take place on Monday, December 18 at 1:00 PM and can be followed live via 1908.nl. Which opponent are you hoping for? Let us know below in the comments!
