Here at SportsCasting, we have the Feyenoord vs Bayern Munich preview, prediction, team news and predicted lineups ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League clash.
Feyenoord Vs Bayern Munich Preview
Bayern Munich have work to do if they are to avoid the rigmarole of a two-legged play-off tie to make the last-16 of the Champions League.
Vincent Kompany’s side are one point adrift of the automatic qualification spots after defeats to Aston Villa and Barcelona.
However, they have responded to this with three straight wins over Shakhtar, Benfica and Paris Saint-Germain.
They play a Feyenoord side who themselves have a lot to fight for in the remaining two games of the Champions League campaign.
The Dutch side are 18th in the standings – just three points behind the top-eight but only three points away from slipping out of the competition altogether.
Feyenoord hold victories over Girona, Benfica and Sparta Prague and also produced a memorable comeback to earn a 3-3 draw against Manchester City. However, they have also suffered defeats to Bayer Leverkusen and Red Bull Salzburg.
The match promises to be a goal-fest given that games including Feyenoord have seen more goals in their games than any of the other 35 teams involved.
The Eredivisie side have struck 14 goals while letting in an additional 15. No Champions League match involving them has ended with fewer than four goals being scored.
Team News
Bayern Munich have been boosted by the news that Joao Palhinha has returned to training though a comeback is unrealistic. Sacha Boey, Tarek Buchmann, Hiroki Ito and Daniel Peretz are also unavailable.
Harry Kane could play his 50th game in the Champions League on Wednesday. He could also become the third English player to score in their half-century match after Wayne Rooney and Phil Foden.
Jamal Musiala could come back in for Kingsley Coman. The team otherwise is expected to be the same that played Wolfsburg.
Feyenoord have issues in midfield going into the game with Ramiz Zerrouki, Quinten Timber and Hwang In-beom all potentially on the sidelines.
Jordon Lotomba, Bart Nieuwkoop, Chris-Kevin Nadje are also on the sidelines.
Feyenoord Vs Bayern Munich Predicted Lineups

Prediction
Bayern Munich will go out strong in their quest to reach the last-16 of the Champions League and avoid a play-off spot.
Vincent Kompany’s side will have enough firepower to take an important three points on Wednesday night.
Prediction: Feyenoord 1-3 Bayern Munich
