Feyenoord v Manchester City Betting Preview – UEFA Champions League 13th September 7.45pm

With all of the investments that they have made over the summer, Manchester City will be looking to land a positive blow out on the road in their first away fixture of the new season in the Champions League. Feyenoord have started their domestic season in a positive fashion, but will they be able to contain a creative and powerful Manchester City side? This could be a pretty open game because City won’t want to come home with anything less than three points.

Feyenoord v Manchester City Betting Tips

It has been a long wait for Feyenoord to get back to the Champions League, as they end a 1 5 year absence from the competition. That thing is with that, it makes it difficult to judge just what they could potentially do. But the Eredivisie side have gone without a win at home in the competition proper in almost 16 years. The last time that they were in the group stage, they failed to get out and their last home win in the competition that they recorded was in a 2-1 victory over Spartak Moscow back in 2001. They do have some European experience though because they were in the UEFA Europa League last season and they did take a home win over Manchester United, but lost 4-0 away and ended up third in their group. In beating the Red Devils, that was Feyenoord’s first home win over an English top flight club since beating Everton in November 1995 in the Cup Winners’ Cup. Feyenoord’s record at home to English teams is W5 D1 L6; overall it is W7 D5 L11. This is a tough game for them and in the bet365 correct score market, a Manchester City 2-0 result returns a price of 13/2.

City have made it out of the group stage in each of their last four campaigns in the UEFA Champions League. Last season they finished runners up in their group and then were stopped by Monaco in that crazy round of sixteen tie. After a 6-6 aggregate against the French club, City were eliminated on away goals. Over 2.5 goals at bet365 for this game returns a price of 8/15. Away from home last season in the Champions League, City played four matches and failed to win any of them in a D2 L2 record so there is room for improvement on the road, to say the least. Actually, City have only won one of their last seven European away games (D3 L3). The last time City went to the Netherlands was in the 2012 group stage and they lost 3-1 at Ajax. Manchester City’s overall record against Dutch teams is W2 D2 L1. They will be full of confidence having beaten Liverpool heavily on the weekend in the Premier league and Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Aguero are joint 8/11 favourites in the anytime goalscorer market for the fixture. A Man City/Man City half time/full time option at bet365 is a 21/20 price.

Feyenoord v Manchester City Predictions

Man City to win: The Citizens should handle the short jaunt over to the Netherlands easily enough in this opener for them. Feyenoord are a strong side on the domestic front but aren’t at the level to content with the big boys of Europe really. Back City to Win & Both Teams To Score though.
