Manchester City

The Mancunians were unbeaten in regular time in 26 consecutive Champions League matches (18 wins and 8 draws). This streak ended in their last match, where they unexpectedly lost 1-4 away to Sporting. Prior to that, Pep Guardiola's side had not conceded a single goal in the group stage, securing big wins over Slovan (4-0) and Sparta (5-0), and drawing 0-0 at home against Inter. As a result, the English club dropped to 10th place but is only two points behind the top 8.

• At least four goals have been scored in 11 of the last 14 Champions League games.
• Both teams scored in 7 of Manchester City's last 10 matches in the tournament.
• The Citizens have not lost in the first half in their last 25 home games in the Champions League (19 wins and 6 draws).

Feyenoord

The Dutch side is positioned 21st in the Champions League group stage standings. Interestingly, both of their victories in the current tournament came away from home, defeating Girona (3-2) and Benfica (3-1). However, at home, Brian Priske's team has yet to earn a point, suffering defeats to Bayer (0-4) and Salzburg (1-3). Notably, the club has conceded 10 goals, with only four teams having worse defensive records.

Midfielder Chris-Kevin Nag will miss the match due to suspension.

• Feyenoord's uncompromising streak in the Champions League now stands at 23 matches (5 wins and 18 losses).
• At least three goals have been scored in the last six matches of the Dutch team in this tournament.
• Both teams have scored in 7 of the club's last 9 games in the Champions League.

Manchester City vs. Feyenoord: Match Prediction

To return to the top eight and advance directly to the Round of 16, the English side needs to win the upcoming match. They face two away games against Juventus and PSG, where earning points will be extremely challenging. Considering the Mancunians' recent struggles in official matches, with five consecutive defeats in the Premier League, English League Cup, and Champions League, Pep Guardiola's side needs a convincing victory to regain confidence.

Manchester City is strong at home. In their last 19 home matches in the Champions League, the club has won 16 times in regular time, with three draws. During this period, the Citizens have scored at least three goals 11 times. Additionally, they have won by a margin of two or more goals 12 times. Meanwhile, the Dutch team had a 10-match away losing streak in the Champions League before their two current victories. Notably, Feyenoord has conceded two or three goals in 9 of their last 12 away matches in the Champions League.

My prediction: Manchester City with a handicap (-1.5)
