Feyenoord travel to Celtic Park this week, where they will feature in a game that will not change their position in the group. Last time the two teams met, the Dutch side won 2-0 and a victory for Arne Slot’s side is expected once again.
Celtic
The Celtic faithful would have liked to see their beloved team show more fight and quality in the Champions League this season, but Brendan Rodgers’ side has been underwhelming to say the least. The Hoops are destined to finish bottom of Group E, after failing to win a game and picking up just one point. Unfortunately, they’ve only put the ball in the back of the net three times, whilst conceding 14.
This weekend, Celtic travelled to face Kilmarnock, where they suffered a 2-1 defeat. This was their first loss of the season in the Scottish Premiership and the squad will be desperate to give the fans something to cheer about on Wednesday.
Feyenoord
De club aan de Maas are guaranteed a place in the Europa League, as they’re four points behind Lazio in second. Slot’s team have collected six points, but they will feel unlucky to have not claimed more based on their performances. After five matches, they’ve scored eight goals whilst also conceding eight.
This weekend, Feyenoord faced Volendam at home. The score was 1-1 going into added time, but 22 shots, seven corners and two big chances missed later, they eventually scored a quick fire double to win the game 3-1.
Verdict?
Celtic’s only point came at Celtic Park and they’ve won six of their eight home matches in the league. Feyenoord have also been poor on the road, losing both of their matches so far, but they have won five of their seven away matches in the Eredivisie.
The hosts will want to go out on a high and they will be up for the game, despite the outcome already set in stone. Feyenoord will also play on the front foot. This tie should see goals.
The final prediction is Celtic 2-2 Feyenoord.
