Manchester City will seek a return to winning ways when Feyenoord visit for their next Champions League encounter. City will go into this game placed 10th in the standings, 11 places ahead of Feyenoord but separated by a point. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Manchester City are going through a difficult period, one never seen before in Pep Guardiola’s coaching era. They have suffered five consecutive defeats and will hope to end the bad run here.
This past weekend, they failed to score in the league for the first time, in a 4-0 thumping by Tottenham. It was the second time in three matches that they conceded four times after falling 4-1 to Sporting earlier.
Feyenoord, who have lost twice in their opening four Champions League will be desperate for three points here. In their last Champions League outing, they suffered a 3-1 home loss to Salzburg just when they seemed to be getting their continental journey right.
The former Dutch champions returned to winning ways with back-to-back victories against Almere City and most recently Heerenveen. Somehow, this season Feyenoord have enjoyed away matches in this competition.
Their two wins in Europe have come on the road, against Girona and Benfica. This is the form they’ll want to take to the Etihad.
This match pits two sides in desperate need of three points to boost their chances. Manchester City have been struggling unusually in recent matches and as a result, their games have been high-scoring. City have conceded four times in two of their last three matches and the script could stay so with a number of defensive players missing.
Feyenoord are also ravaged by injuries, though their returns in attack aren’t bad. A bet on the goals here would be a great pick. Our prediction for Manchester City v Feyenoord is for over 3.5 goals.
