Feyenoord vs Sparta Praha Preview
Feyenoord
Feyenoord’s vital Champions League match will take place at De Kuip on Wednesday. The Dutch side showed excellent character when they came back against Man City on matchday five, leaving them in 21st place after losing just once in their last four matches.
However, the competition for a place in the top 24 means that only a win will keep them in the desired positions. Brian Priske will keep faith with his 4-3-3 formation, with Quienten Timber the most crucial player in the system. The Dutch side have accumulated an xG of 1.93 per match this season, scoring 35 goals overall.
Defensively, they’ve also been solid in home matches this season, conceding seven goals from an xGA of 0.84 per match. However, Feyenoord will be without a couple of notable players this week, with defenders Jordan Lotomba and Hugo Bueno unlikely to feature again before the start of 2025.
Sparta Praha
Sparta Praha would’ve been among the outsiders to qualify for the next round and have already endured their struggles in the Champions League this season. They come in sitting 28th in the standings and have lost each of their last three games.
Železná Sparta are among the lowest scorers in the competition after netting just five times and conceding 14 goals. Their European issues aren’t reflected in their domestic xG accumulation of 1.24 per match, scoring 33 goals across 18 games. However, they’ve struggled defensively domestically, allowing an xGA of 1.36 in away matches and conceding 9 goals.
Like Feyenoord, Sparta must contend with some notable absences this week. Striker Lukáš Haraslín and defender Ángelo Preciado are both unavailable.
Bet hereFeyenoord vs Sparta Praha Prediction
- Pick: Feyenoord to Win
- Odds: 1.39 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Feyenoord 3-1 Sparta Praha
The hosts look to be the standout Feyenoord vs Sparta Praha prediction this weekend despite failing to win in four head-to-head showdowns.
The Dutch side have been an excellent possession-based team against the lesser-ranked teams in the Champions League, and there are goals across their forward line, which bodes well for their chances this week.
Sparta Praha have scored just twice and shipped 14 goals since their matchday one win over RB Salzburg, and another miserable night on the road could be endured in the Netherlands on Wednesday.
Feyenoord vs Sparta Praha Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Igor Paixão to Record 1+ Assists
- Odds: 2.8 (22Bet)
Igor Paixão has been Feyenoord’s standout star this season, and his importance in the final third will see his side over the line this week. The Brazilian looks an excellent assist selection after already recording 10 in 20 matches across the Champions League and Eredivisie this term.
Meanwhile, it could be an interesting betting selection to side with Feyenoord to score two or more goals on Wednesday. Games involving the Dutch side have seen the third-most goals scored in the Champions League this season, and Feyenoord have scored at least three goals in three of their previous four matches.
