Game Prediction
On February 12, 2025, the first match of the UEFA Champions League playoff round will feature Feyenoord against Milan. The ambitious visitors are determined to win, but the Dutch side must give their all at home to secure success.
Feyenoord vs Milan Prediction
Feyenoord's "Pride of the South" were unable to defend their Eredivisie title last season. They also lost manager Arne Slot to Liverpool. His successor, Brian Priske, started with a Super Cup victory, but Feyenoord is currently fourth in the Dutch league. Milan, after finishing as runners-up in Serie A, parted ways with Stefano Pioli. His replacement, Paulo Fonseca, faced early setbacks and was dismissed before the New Year. Sérgio Conceição, who replaced him, won the Super Cup after victories over Juventus and Inter, but the team still suffered several setbacks and conflicts with players.
In the Champions League, Feyenoord secured wins over Girona, Benfica, Sparta Prague, and Bayern Munich, including a 3-0 victory over the Bavarians. They also managed to draw against Manchester City after initially being 3-0 down. However, they lost to Bayer Leverkusen, Red Bull Salzburg, and Lille, conceding at least three goals in each match. They ended the group stage with a 1-6 defeat in France.
Milan began their campaign with two defeats, including one to Liverpool and another to Bayer Leverkusen. However, they bounced back to win five consecutive matches, defeating Brugge, Slovan, Crvena Zvezda, Girona, and even Real Madrid, whom they beat 3-1 in Madrid. In late January, Milan lost 1-0 to Dinamo Zagreb, preventing them from securing automatic qualification for the Round of 16.
