Feyenoord vs Inter Milan Preview and Team News

Feyenoord Team News

Feyenoord will start on the backfoot against Inter Milan in the first leg of their RO16 clash in the UEFA Champions League. However, they will not be thinking of themselves as the minnows. 

To have arrived at this stage, the hosts have excelled in previous rounds of the competition, and will be keen on causing a major upset. Feyenoord have been unbeaten in their last five encounters, and this will give them a confidence Inter cannot match. The visitors have lost two out of their last five outings. 

Feyenoord are known for their exquisite passing skills, often bringing their fullbacks into play in order to boost their chances inside the box. We can expect to see such direct football tactics again on Wednesday. 

Unfortunately, Givairo Read has been suspended for this event. Injuries to Calvin Stengs, Facundo Gonzalez, Gernot Trauner, In-Beom Hwang, Jakub Moder, and Justin Bijlow will handicap them.

Feyenoord predicted lineup vs Inter Milan (4-2-3-1): Wellenreuther; Hartman, Trauner, Hancko, Smal; Milambo, Beelen; Ivanusec, Hadj Moussa, Carranza; Paixao.

Inter Milan Team News

Inter Milan pride themselves on their storied defence, and we can expect to see a lot of organisation at the back in this game. While they like to play with a three-man backline on most occasions, it’s noted that their wingbacks, especially Dumfries, drop back to help the others out when they lose the ball. 

Playing the first leg of a knockout continental competition away from home will not be easy for Inter. They’ll be keen to make the most of possession whenever they have it. 

The visitors usually like to play with two target men at the top. This allows them to dictate the speed of the match whenever they have managed to dispossess their opponents of the ball. 

Carlos Augusto, Nicolas Zalewski, Yann Sommer, and former Manchester United defender Matteo Darmian are injured. Their absences will leave Inter with a lot of selection questions ahead of this game.

Inter Milan predicted lineup vs Feyenoord (3-5-2): J. Martinez; Pavard, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, L. Martinez.

Feyenoord vs Inter Milan Prediction

• Pick: Inter Milan to win
• Odds: 1.6 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Feyenoord 0-3 Inter Milan

Inter have a mighty upper hand in this match, and we anticipate them winning comfortably. They’re also expected to take a big lead in the second leg of this encounter and eventually qualify for the next round of the tournament. 

The guests have a far better side than Feyenoord, especially on paper, and although they’ve had good form recently, they may come up short against their famed Italian opponents.

Feyenoord vs Inter Milan Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Total over 2 goals
• Odds: 1.33 (22Bet)

At the very least, we expect to see a total of over two goals in this game. However, most of these should come from Inter. Their prized attacking duo of Thuram and Lautaro Martinez will be licking their lips in anticipation of coming up against the Feyenoord defenders. 

The home team will need to mark this pair closely in the final third. If given even an inch of space, they’re known to create something out of it, and stun everyone with scintillating performances.
