Feyenoord v AC Milan Betting Tips [12 February 2025]

Feyenoord welcomes AC Milan for the first leg of their UEFA Champions League playoff. Feyenoord’s 19th placed finish in the league phase and Milan in 13th spot saw them drawn to face off here. We have a prediction for this match.

Feyenoord suffered a 6-1 loss at Lille on matchday eight of the league phase and will hope for a better run-out this time. That defeat marked the start of a three-match losing streak but things are back to normal.

Feyenoord are coming off a 3-0 win at home to Sparta in the Rotterdam derby. That was their fifth win in seven home matches and their confidence levels will be high.

AC Milan on their part, are unbeaten in three matches ahead of this and will hope to ride on the confidence gained from that. Their last two matches ended in back-to-back wins and the Italians will be inspired coming into this outing.

Their most recent game saw Milan leap in the Serie A after a 2-0 win at Empoli. One of the scorers in that game, Santiago Gimenez, played for Feyenoord on matchday eight of the league phase.

Milan’s last away match in the Champions League ended in a shock 2-1 loss at Dinamo Zagreb. That defeat meant they couldn’t progress through a top-eight finish.

Dutch giants Feyenoord have a strong run at home and this game presents a good chance to respond to their heavy loss at Lille on matchday eight. Playing the first leg at home is considered tricky but Feyenoord will embrace this, as they look to take a commanding lead.

Milan, on the other hand, have had shaky moments away from home and this will be a tough place to go. Our prediction for Feyenoord v AC Milan is for Feyenoord to win.
