Feyenoord v Atletico Madrid

Feyenoord vs Atletico Madrid Preview

Only two points separate third placed hosts, Feyenoord, and their group leading visitors, Atletico Madrid, prior to this upcoming matchday 5 clash in Group E with the group being now determined by a three-horse race along with Lazio, as Celtic have virtually dropped out of the reckoning, sitting bottom of the group with just one point to their name.

Although Feyenoord have suffered three defeats out of their last 17 matches in all competitions, it is worth noting that each of these three losses were incurred on their travels where they have been handed defeats by Atletico Madrid and Lazio in the Champions League along with a 2-1 loss at Twente in the Dutch Eredivisie.

On the flip side, Feyenoord have collected no fewer than 12 wins in their last 15 games overall while also winning their last seven home games on the trot across all competitions, so Arne Slot's side will be quietly confident about their chances of picking up a favourable result here on Tuesday night.

In addition, Feyenoord have registered home wins against Celtic and Lazio which will give the Dutch outfit belief and confidence that they can get a result here on matchday 5, while goals for both sides may feature as six of Feyenoord's last 10 Champions League ties have seen both teams notch.

Atletico Madrid captured a third win on the trot in both Champions League and La Liga on the weekend which saw the Spanish side record a useful 1-0 home win against Mallorca which followed previous wins against Scottish club Celtic 6-0 in the Champions League along with a domestic victory over Villarreal, so they too will be fancying their chances of grabbing an important three points here on Tuesday night.

The bigger picture shows Atletico Madrid have tasted defeat on just two previous occasions out of their previous 21 games overall in all competitions, while goals for both teams have figured in seven of Atletico Madrid's last 10 games so the goals market looks a promising prospect for this upcoming encounter on Tuesday night at the Stadion Feijenoord.

However, switch to results away from home on the Champions League stage and you'll find that Diego Simeone's side have failed to win any of their last six outings on the road at this level and losing four of these six trips, which suggests the Spanish visitors may struggle to get the better of their Dutch hosts in this matchday 5 clash.

Feyenoord v Atletico Madrid Verdict
