Prediction: 1-1
Milan
Expect an electrifying atmosphere at De Kuip when Feyenoord and AC Milan lock horns in the Champions League knockout stages, first leg. De Trots van Zuid faced no difficulties in the Rotterdam derby, with the team rolling over Sparta Rotterdam 3-0, but Wednesday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for Brian Priske’s troops. Feyenoord’s injury list is pretty long, including the likes of Bijlow, Lotomba, Nadje, Stengs, and Zerrouki, while duo Targhalline – Hartman is ineligible for the Champions League games.
The Rossoneri, on the other hand, have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team beating Roma in Coppa Italia and Empoli in Serie A, but they will have a big fish to fry in Rotterdam. As Feyenoord are tough to beat at their De Kuip, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. January signing Joao Felix is likely to make his Champions League debut with Milan, while midfielder Yunus Musah misses out through suspension.
