Man City v Feyenoord

Manchester City vs Feyenoord Preview

Manchester City suffered an unprecedented fifth defeat on the trot in all competitions under manager Pep Guardiola on the weekend in the English Premier League when City were handed a heavy 4-0 loss at home to Tottenham, while Feyenoord recorded a comprehensive 3-0 home win against Heerenveen in the Dutch Eredivisie on the weekend.

Recent defeats to Bournemouth 2-1, Brighton 2-1 and Tottenham 4-0 in the Premier League have been further compounded by losses to Tottenham 2-1 in the League Cup along with a resounding 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Portuguese club Sporting Lisbon last time out in the Champions League.

The hosts had previously picked up a useful point in a 0-0 draw at home with Inter Milan along with comprehensive back-to-back wins against Slovan Bratislava 4-0 and Sparta Prague 5-0 respectively, but defeat in their last fixture suggest the pressure is now on the hosts to produce a much better showing at their Etihad Stadium on Tuesday night.

The goals market also appeals for this upcoming encounter against Feyenoord as no fewer than seven out of Manchester City's last 10 ties overall in the Champions League have resulted in both teams hitting the back of the net.

Feyenoord made it two wins on the trot in the Dutch top flight over the weekend when they recorded a decisive 3-0 home win against Heerenveen which followed a previous comprehensive 4-1 rout of Almere City away from home.

Having now won eight out of their last 10 matches in all competitions, Feyenoord will head into this Tuesday night Champions League clash at the Etihad Stadium in confident mood especially as their hosts have stumbled to five defeats on the trot in recent weeks.

The Dutch visitors currently reside in 21st place in this season's Champions League table overall and therefore occupy a play-off spot as we speak but results to date in this elite European competition have been something of a mixed bag for Brian Priske's side to date.

Indeed, two wins but also two losses so far within their opening four ties have produced wins against Girona 3-2 and Benfica 3-1 respectively, both of which were away from home, but also includes being handed heavy defeats on home soil at their Stadion Feijenoord to Bayer Leverkusen 4-0 and Salzburg 3-1.

Again, the goals market seems to beckon for this upcoming Champions League tie away at Manchester City though as seven out of Feyenoord's last 10 games in the Champions League have also produced goals for both teams as well.
