Feyenoord hosts AC Milan in Rotterdam in a first leg from the Champions League playoffs. One of these two teams will reach the 1/8-finals of the competition. Stick with us and our Betting on underdogs in football matches guide.
Feyenoord are not showing their best face lately. Quite contrary, they are pretty bad. Brian Priske’s team was humiliated against Lille in the league stage with a 1-6 defeat which was followed by losses against Ajax and PSV. Surely something is happening with the team right now. The question is – can they get back on their feet on time against AC Milan?
The Dutch giants have to face the Rossoneri without their star striker Santiago Gimenez. The Mexican international sold moved to Milan in January, so now he will have the chance to play against his former club. The Japanese international Ayase Ueda is one of the players who could replace Gimenez at the top of the attack.
AC Milan reinforced its squad heavily during the January transfer window. We already mentioned the signing of Santiago Gimenez, but there was more. The Italian giants signed another striker as well – Joao Felix, while they also acquired the services of the experienced defender Kyle Walker.
Santi Gimenez and Joao Felix debuted for Milan during the 3-1 win against AS Roma in the Coppa Italia. Felix even scored one of the goals after an assist from Gimenez. We expect both of them to start against Feyenoord on Wednesday night.
Milan looks somehow more promising since the arrival of the new head coach Sergio Conceição. The former Porto manager brought some fresh energy to the team. With the signing AC Milan made in January, they are heavy favorites to win against Feyenoord.
That’s the Betting on underdogs in football matches guide for the Champions League playoffs game between Feyenoord and AC Milan. Good luck!
