Feyenoord v Inter Milan
📅
Kick Off: Wednesday 5th March at 17:45
🏆
Competition: Champions League
📺
What TV Channel: TNT Sports 2
Inter travel to De Quip on Wednesday, looking for a big result that would give them an easier task in the return leg at home. Though they are strong favorites, Champions League away games are never straightforward, especially in the knockout stage, and they’ll need to be at their best to secure an advantage.
⭐ Feyenoord v Inter Milan Best Bet
While Feyenoord’s Champions League matches have been high-scoring, averaging 4.2 goals per game, the opposite is true for Inter Milan, whose games see an average of just 1.5 goals. Given how Inter are likely to set up, a low-scoring affair seems the most probable outcome.
Inter’s defense has been nearly impenetrable in the Champions League, conceding just one goal across their eight matches. They have taken an extremely defensive approach, scoring only 1.38 goals per game. Notably, four of their six wins in the competition have been 1-0 victories. Considering this is the first leg, Inter are likely to prioritize an early goal before sitting back to defend their lead.
Feyenoord have been strong in attack in the CL but currently sit fourth in the Eredivisie, a level below many of the teams Inter have successfully shut out. Additionally, due to Inter’s defensive setup, they are unlikely to fully exploit Feyenoord’s defensive vulnerabilities.
🟢 Feyenoord v Inter Milan ABC Exclusive Boost
Despite the fact Feyenoord’s Champions League matches have been high-scoring (4.2 goals per game), Inter Milan’s have been the opposite, averaging just 1.5 goals per game. Inter’s defense has been nearly impenetrable, conceding only one goal in eight matches. Their approach has been highly defensive, with four of their six wins coming via 1-0 score lines. Given this is the first leg, Inter are likely to aim for an early goal before sitting back to protect their lead. Feyenoord, while strong in attack, sit fourth in the Eredivisie—arguably a step below the level of teams Inter have comfortably shut out.
Feyenoord are also the likelier side to receive more cards, averaging 2.6 per game in the Champions League compared to Inter’s 1.8 (which drops to 1.3 in Serie A). They commit slightly more fouls (9.7 vs. 9.5), while Inter tend to draw more (11.4 vs. 9.4), further increasing Feyenoord’s card risk.
Inter have consistently looked to score early and defend their lead in the Champions League. They’ve found the net in six of their eight matches, scoring the first goal in the first half five times—half of their total goals have come before the 27th minute. Meanwhile, Feyenoord have opened the scoring in just three of their ten CL games, making Inter strong candidates to strike first.
👕 Feyenoord v Inter Milan Predicted XI
🔍 Feyenoord v Inter Milan Players to Watch
🔴 Igor Paixao
Paixao has been Feyenoord’s most dangerous attacking player in the Champions League, leading the team in both total shots (2.2 per game) and shots on target (0.7 per game). While Inter Milan boast a strong defense, they still allow chances—conceding an average of 2.75 shots on target per game in the Champions League and 3.44 in Serie A.
Feyenoord, on the other hand, average just under four shots on target per game in the competition. Given Feyenoord’s reliance on Paixao for output in the Champions League, highlighted by his significant shot volume, nearly double that of any other Feyenoord player, he’s well-positioned to test the Inter goalkeeper at least once.
🔵 Lisandro Martinez
Martínez has been Inter’s most prolific scorer in the Champions League, netting five goals in eight games, he’s also got ten in Serie A. He averages 1.4 shots on target per game in this competition, and with Feyenoord conceding 6.5 shots on target per match, he could see even more opportunities.
While Inter are likely to adopt a defensive setup, they still manage to create chances, averaging 1.4 goals and 4.1 shots on target per game in the Champions League. Given his form in Europe and central role in Inter’s attack, Martínez is the best player to bet on to capitalize on those chances.
