AC Milan v Feyenoord

A Mike Maignan mistake was all that was needed to put Milan behind on aggregate as they slumped to a 1-0 defeat in Rotterdam.

That said, they are nonetheless the bookmaker's favourites to qualify for the next round, priced at 1.57 to do just that. 

The first game left much to be desired, with the teams creating a combined 1.07xG - the second-fewest of any Champions League match this season, but given Milan have little choice but to take the game to the opposition, this could be an entertaining affair.

⭐ AC Milan v Feyenoord Best Bet

Feyenoord’s matches have by large been relatively subdued affairs this season, with this selection hitting in 14 of their last 18 outings. 

Their discipline in the Champions League has been particularly notable, picking up just 1.44 cards per game on average.

Milan’s numbers paint a similar picture,  with their games averaging 4.29 cards per match and this bet landing in 12 of their last 20 fixtures. 

However, home matches at the San Siro tend to be far calmer, with the average dropping significantly to just 3.23 cards per game.

Further strengthening the case is the appointment of Szymon Marciniak as referee. He has maintained a low card count this season, averaging only 2.71 per game—falling to just 2.00 in Champions League fixtures.

👕 AC Milan v Feyenoord Predicted XI

🔍 AC Milan v Feyenoord Players to Watch

⚫ Julian Carranza

Carranza has been a magnet for fouls this season, drawing an impressive 2.32 per 90 minutes across all competitions.

The Argentine forward has won two or more fouls in five of his last six appearances when playing at least 45 minutes, only missing out against Sparta Rotterdam, where he was taken off around the hour mark after drawing just one.

His Champions League numbers are even more compelling, with his average rising to 3.53 fouls drawn per 90,

This bet has already landed against Milan, Man City, and Benfica—even with limited minutes, featuring just 45 against City and 16 against Benfica.

🔴 Joao Felix

João Félix has wasted no time making an impact since his January move, recording a shot on target in three of his four appearances so far—including a brief 30-minute cameo against Roma.

His attacking intent is nothing new. Despite limited opportunities at Chelsea, he still managed at least one shot on target in each of his final six appearances.

Over the course of the Premier League season, he averaged 1.48 shots on target per 90 minutes.

Félix was particularly threatening in the reverse fixture, testing the keeper three times which should come as no surprise given the Dutch side have allowed an average of 5.67 shots on target per game in the Champions League.

💻 AC Milan v Feyenoord Form and Tactics

As mentioned, the first showing of this clash was a pretty dull affair, with the teams creating a combined 1.07xG and the only goal of the game being from a goalkeeper error.

Nonetheless, this is pretty atypical of both sides and spectators should expect a more exciting affair, as Milan aim to secure a round of 16 clash with city-rivals, Inter Milan.

The Rossonerri will set up in a 4-2-3-1 which might look quite similar in shape to Feyenoord’s 4-3-3, although Hernandez’s bombing runs down the left could be key to deciding this clash, offering additional support upfront at the cost of defensive solidity.

Feyenoord would perhaps be wise to aim to play out a similar snoozefest to the reverse leg, keeping the game as closed as possible and trying to grind out the aggregate win.
