Internazionale vs Feyenoord Rotterdam Prediction, Odds, Best Bets - Champions League
Internazionale head to De Kuip on Tuesday chasing a first away win in this Champions League campaign, against a Feyenoord Rotterdam side whose season has stalled and who sit outside the playoff places with three matches played.
The Matchup
Internazionale sit 20th in the league-phase table with three points from three matches, six places and level on points with Feyenoord Rotterdam in 26th, who sit outside the playoff places. Inter lost 2-1 at Real Madrid, lost 4-3 at home to Club Brugge, and beat Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0, with Carlos Augusto scoring the winner in that match after scoring at Madrid as well. Feyenoord lost 5-1 at Barcelona, beat Como 3-2 at De Kuip, and lost 1-0 at Real Betis, so their one win in this competition came at home and their one home game produced goals at both ends.
The scoring threat for Inter comes from deep. Carlos Augusto is expected to start again in the 3-5-2 Inter used against Shakhtar, with Ange-Yoan Bonny and Marcus Thuram up front, and Bonny scored late against Brugge before starting the Shakhtar win.
Feyenoord are expected to keep the 4-3-3 they used at Betis, with Anis Hadj Moussa wide after scoring against Como and Gjivai Zechiel alongside him in midfield. Neither club has named its side yet, and neither has a player ruled out in the team news available for this match.
Key Factors
The wider form points one way. Inter won four of their last five matches in all competitions, with league wins at Bologna and at Venezia and a home win over Fiorentina, and their only defeat in that run came 3-1 at AC Milan. Feyenoord have not won in three, losing at Betis and drawing at home with PSV Eindhoven and away at Fortuna Sittard, so a side that started this competition by scoring three at home has gone quiet.
The case against is Inter's defending in Europe. They conceded four at home to Brugge and lost their only away match in this competition at Madrid, and Feyenoord's home game in this competition showed they can score in bunches at De Kuip. A draw would not be a disaster for either side, which is why Inter cannot afford to sit on a lead they may never take.
Internazionale are playing the better football of these two right now, and Feyenoord have lost their rhythm at exactly the wrong time. Inter defend in numbers and still get goals from deep positions, and Carlos Augusto's runs are a problem Feyenoord have not had to solve in this competition. The draw is the danger, because De Kuip is loud and Feyenoord scored freely in their one home game, but Inter's need is just as real and their side is in better shape. Take Internazionale ML at -121.
