Manchester City

The Mancunians had an unbeaten streak of 26 consecutive Champions League matches in regular time (18 wins and 8 draws), which was snapped by a surprising 1-4 away loss to Sporting. Before that, Pep Guardiola's side had not conceded a goal in the group stage, securing big wins over Slovan (4-0) and Sparta (5-0), and drawing at home with Inter (0-0). As a result, the English club dropped to 10th place, but they are only two points away from the top 8.

• At least four goals have been scored in regular time in 11 of the last 14 Champions League games.
• Both teams scored in 7 of Manchester City's last 10 matches in this tournament.
• The Citizens have not lost in the first half in 25 previous home Champions League matches (19 wins and 6 draws).

Feyenoord

The Dutch side sits 21st in the group stage standings of the Champions League. Interestingly, both of their victories in the current tournament came on the road, defeating Girona (3-2) and Benfica (3-1). However, at home, Brian Priske's team has yet to earn a point, suffering defeats to Bayer (0-4) and Salzburg (1-3). Notably, the club has conceded 10 goals, with only four teams having worse defensive records.

Midfielder Chris-Kevin N'Jie will miss the match due to suspension.

• Feyenoord's uncompromising streak in the Champions League now stands at 23 matches (5 wins and 18 losses).
• At least three goals have been scored in the last six matches of the Dutch team in this tournament.
• Both teams scored in 7 of the club's last 9 games in the Champions League.

Manchester City vs. Feyenoord: Match Prediction

To return to the top eight and secure a direct spot in the Round of 16, the English side needs to win the upcoming match. They face two away games against Juventus and PSG, where earning points will be very challenging. Given the Mancunians' recent struggles in official matches, including four consecutive losses in the Premier League, English League Cup, and Champions League, Pep Guardiola's team needs a confident victory to regain their confidence.

Manchester City is strong at home. In their last 19 home matches in the Champions League, the club has achieved 16 wins in regular time, with three draws. During this period, the Citizens have scored at least three goals 11 times and have won by two or more goals 12 times. Meanwhile, before their two victories in the current Champions League campaign, Feyenoord had a 10-match losing streak on the road in this tournament. Additionally, in their last 12 away matches in the Champions League, Feyenoord has conceded two or three goals 9 times.

My prediction – Manchester City with a handicap (-1.5)
