After the first matches of the 1/8 finals of the Europa League bookmakers updated their quotes for the overall outcome of the two-match clash in this round of the tournament. In particular, the odds of the opponents in the pair between Shakhtar Donetsk and Dutch Feyenoord have changed. Recall that the first leg ended in a 1-1 draw, and the return leg will be played in Rotterdam.
Based on the current odds, we can conclude that the bookmakers have no more faith in Shakhtar's overall success.
Thus, the odds on Feyenoord to advance to the Europa League quarterfinals after two games are accepted now at the modest odds of 1.21, while the odds on Shakhtar's general success are 4.80.
The bookmakers' evaluation of the teams' prospects in the return leg looks similar. The odds on Feyenoord to win in regulation time are 1.51 and the odds on Shakhtar's win are 6.50. Bookmakers do not particularly believe in a draw in this meeting either; bets on such an outcome in regulation time are accepted at odds of 4.50.
Let us remind you that the return leg between Feyenoord and Shakhtar will take place next Thursday, March 16, in Rotterdam.
