Feyenoord

In the last round, Brian Priske's team earned points in an away match against Manchester City (3-3). Notably, Feyenoord managed to come back from a three-goal deficit by the 75th minute. As a result, the club avoided defeat for the third time in their last four Champions League matches (2 wins, 1 draw). With seven points, the Dutch side is in the playoff zone. However, it is worth noting that with 13 goals conceded in the group stage, the team is ahead of only six clubs in this metric.

Defenders Jordan Lotomba, Quilindschy Hartman, as well as forwards Julian Carranza and Ayase Ueda, will miss the match due to injuries.

• The club has lost in regular time in 8 of their last 11 home Champions League matches.
• At least three goals have been scored in 90 minutes in 8 of the team's last 9 home games in the UCL.
• Both opponents scored in regular time in 5 of Feyenoord's last 7 home matches in this European competition.

Sparta Prague

Lars Friis's side suffered a painful home defeat to Atletico (0-6) in the last round. Consequently, Sparta has lost three consecutive Champions League matches, with two of those defeats by a margin of at least five goals. With four points, the team is only in the 28th position in the standings. Notably, with a goal difference of -9, the Czechs are ahead of just three clubs in the group stage.

Defenders Imanol Garcia, midfielders Lukas Haraslin and Ángelo Preciado, as well as forward Indrit Tuci, will not play due to injuries.

• The team has not lost in regular time in 5 of their last 6 away Champions League matches (3 wins, 2 draws).
• At least three goals have been scored in 90 minutes in 4 of the team's last 5 matches in this European competition.
• The Czechs scored in regular time in 10 of their last 12 Champions League matches.

Feyenoord vs. Sparta Prague: Match Prediction

At home, the Dutch team is active in attack and scores regularly. In their last seven home Champions League matches, Feyenoord players failed to score only against Bayer and managed to find the net against strong opponents like Atletico, Napoli, and Lazio. However, in their last ten home matches in this European competition, the team has kept a clean sheet only once.

Sparta also has no major issues with scoring and even away from home, they do not rely solely on defense. In the current Champions League campaign, including qualifiers, the team has scored in 4 of their 5 away matches, failing to score only against Manchester City. In their last 13 away matches in this European competition, the Czechs have only three clean sheets.

I expect both teams to play actively in attack and exchange goals. My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
