Feyenoord vs Bayern Munich predictions: Bundesliga leaders can march on
- Bayern Munich can record their fourth successive Champions League victory
- Feyenoord have lost to Bayer Leverkusen and Salzburg at home already
- Recommended bet: Bayern Munich to win & both teams to score
Bayern Munich still have work to do to ensure they finish in the top eight of the Champions League after early defeats to Aston Villa and Barcelona, but they should be confident they can get three points at Feyenoord.
Their Dutch hosts find themselves in a disappointing fourth position in the Eredivisie and have already been defeated twice at De Kuip in this competition, so they look to be up against it when facing the Bundesliga leaders.
Team news
Ramiz Zerrouki, Quinten Timber and In-beom Hwang are all struggling for Feyenoord while Jordan Lotomba, Bart Nieuwkoop and Chris-Kevin Nadje have all been ruled out.
Bayern Munich midfielder Joao Palhinha is back in training but is unlikely to feature, while Sacha Boey, Hiroki Ito and Daniel Peretz are also sidelined.
The stats
All six of Feyenoord’s Champions League games this season have featured at least four goals.
Bayern Munich have won 13 of their last 16 matches in all competitions.
Bayern have lost just two of their last 12 games against Dutch opposition.
Feyenoord have conceded the first goal in seven of their last nine Champions League matches.
Bayern have registered just one clean sheet in their last 10 Champions League away games.
Prediction
Bayern Munich have taken time to get into the groove in the Champions League this season after losing two of their opening three games against Aston Villa and Barcelona, but they can move into the top eight with a victory over Feyenoord in Rotterdam.
Bayern have won all but three of their last 16 matches in all competitions and while a 5-1 win over Shakhtar Donetsk ended a run of five away Champions League games without a win, they next face a team who are down on their luck.
Bayer Leverkusen and RB Salzburg have already claimed victories at De Kuip in this competition this season and Brian Friske’s team have failed to win their last three matches as they have struggled to adjust to life without manager Arne Slot following his departure to Liverpool.
They have shown some signs of life in the Champions League, grabbing the headlines when they battled back from 3-0 down to earn a late draw with Manchester City, but this looks a tough assignment against Vincent Kompany’s team, who are four points clear in the Bundesliga.
Bayern have conceded in nine of their last 10 Champions League games, which gives the home side some hope that they can at least make their mark, but expect the Germans to collect three valuable points.
