Prediction: 4-2
Feyenoord
Fallen Premier League giants Manchester City will look to put an end to their five-game losing run in all competitions when they face Feyenoord on Tuesday evening. The Citizens suffered a heart-breaking 4-0 loss to Tottenham at the weekend and, no doubt, they are desperate to return to winning ways as soon as possible. Playmaker Kevin De Bruyne is widely expected to return to the starting XI, with Jack Grealish pushing for a start as well, while Jeremy Doku faces race against clock to be fit for the match.
De Trots van Zuid, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs in the Champions League this term, beating both Girona and Benfica on the road, while losing to Salzburg and Bayer Leverkusen at home. Anyhow, home win should be considered this time out as Pep Guardiola’s men will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. To make things even worse for the away team, midfielder Chris Nadje misses the trip to England through suspension.
