Feyenoord to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n4\/11 @ Bet365<\/a>
(73.3%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe are backing Feyenoord to win because they have produced nearly twice as many shots as Sturm Graz (82 vs 61), are notably more accurate (52% vs 36%), and scored six without reply the last time Sturm Graz visited Rotterdam.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Over 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n4\/9 @ Betfair<\/a>
(69.2%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThere could be value here due to Feyenoord\u2019s leaky defence (13 conceded in 6) and high attacking output, plus the fact that their last home clash with Sturm Graz finished 6-0. Both teams are better going forward than at the back.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
