Celtic v Feyenoord

Celtic vs Feyenoord Preview

Scottish Premiership side, Celtic, will play host to Dutch visitors, Feyenoord, in this final matchday six fixture in Group E with the hosts sitting bottom of the group table with just one point to their name and nothing left to play for but pride, while Feyenoord are guaranteed a place in the knockout stages of the Europa League as they occupy third place but cannot overhaul second placed Lazio even if they record a win at Celtic Park.

Celtic were handed their first defeat of the domestic top flight season in Scotland on the weekend as The Hoops suffered an unexpected 2-1 defeat away from home at Kilmarnock which ended a previously impressive 17-match unbeaten run in the Scottish Premiership.

The hosts still sit top of the domestic Premiership table with a five-point cushion over old rivals, Rangers, but results and form on the European front have left a lot to be desired for Brendan Rodgers' side as they have lost four of their five games in Group E so far in their Champions League campaign.

Defeats to Feyenoord, Lazio twice and Atletico Madrid have ensured the Scottish champions will make their exit in this competition after Wednesday night's clash at Celtic Park but goals could feature as six of Celtic's last 10 Champions League ties overall have resulted in both teams scoring.

Feyenoord bounced back from recent back-to-back defeats to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League and PSV in the domestic Dutch top flight on the weekend when they registered a comprehensive 3-1 home win against Volendam which will serve as a timely boost ahead of this upcoming trip to Glasgow to face hosts, Celtic.

The Dutch outfit are already assured of a place in the knockout stages of the Europa League as they hold an unassailable five-point cushion over their upcoming hosts but they have experienced an inconsistent sequence of results overall in all competitions lately.

Four wins and four defeats consist of wins recorded against Waalwijk, AZ, Excelsior and Volendam, all of which were in the Dutch Eredivisie, but the four losses included defeats in the Champions League to Lazio and Atletico Madrid which prevented Feyenoord from making inroads into the top two positions in Group E.

Nevertheless, the goals market appeals in this upcoming fixture at Celtic Park as Feyenoord have also been involved in recent games that have been conducive to favourable outcomes in the both teams to score market; indeed, seven of Feyenoord's last 10 matches in all competitions have resulted in both teams hitting the back of the net.

Celtic v Feyenoord Verdict

This final matchday six clash at Celtic Park is expected to be a free-flowing and open game and the prospect of both teams scoring here seems fairly likely.
