Feyenoord
In the previous round, Brian Priske's team defeated Sparta 4-2. The club has shown decent results in this Champions League campaign, losing only two matches while securing points in the other four (3 wins, 1 draw). Feyenoord is currently in 18th place in the standings with 10 points. The club has not yet secured a spot in the Champions League playoffs. Notably, even if they lose, they still have a chance to advance to the next stage of the tournament.
Defender Jordan Lotomba and midfielders Gevaro Zehi, Ramiz Zerrouki, Hwang In-beom, and Quinten Timber will miss the game due to health issues.
- The opponents have scored at least four times in regular time in Feyenoord's last 5 home matches in this European competition.
- The club has conceded at least two goals in 90 minutes in their last 4 home matches in the Champions League.
- Feyenoord has conceded in the first half in their last 4 home games in this tournament.
Bayern Munich
In the last round, the Munich side thrashed Shakhtar 5-1. This victory was Vincent Kompany's team's fourth in this Champions League campaign, but they lost the other two group stage matches. Bayern Munich is in 10th place in the standings and has a good chance of advancing directly to the Round of 16, trailing their nearest competitor in the top eight by just one point. Notably, the team has already scored 17 goals in the group stage of the Champions League, with only Borussia Dortmund (18) and Barcelona (21) having better records.
- The opponents have scored at least three times in regular time in 4 of Bayern Munich's last 5 away matches in this European competition.
- The club has not won in regular time in 5 of their last 6 away matches in the Champions League (1 draw, 4 losses).
- The Munich side has conceded first in regular time in 5 of their last 6 away games in this tournament.
Feyenoord vs. Bayern Munich: Match Prediction
The Dutch club regularly finds the net in their home Champions League matches. Feyenoord has scored in 7 of their last 8 home games in this tournament, scoring at least twice in 4 matches during this period. However, the team often struggles defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 5 home games in this European competition.
Bayern Munich also faces defensive challenges in their away Champions League matches. The Munich side has conceded in their last 6 away games in this tournament, allowing at least two goals in half of them. However, their attack is more promising, scoring in 4 of their last 5 away games in the Champions League. I anticipate both teams will find the back of the net in this upcoming match. My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
