Manchester City is rolling towards winning the top spot in Group F in the Champions League, while Feyenoord Rotterdam doesn’t have a point. They’ll have their hands full when they head to Manchester for Matchday 6 on November 21st.
What To Know About Feyenoord Rotterdam
Feyenoord opened the scoring through Nicolai Jorgensen, but then the bottom fell out for them as they lost 3-1 at Shaktar Donetsk. Feyenoord has now lost all four of their Champions League games so far, scoring three goals and allowing 12, with six goals each coming at home and away. Feyenoord has some decent players, like forward Steven Berghuis, who has scored seven goals in nine games in the Dutch Eredivise. But the Champions League is a massive step up in competition for Berghuis and the rest of his team, and they’re probably not even going to get a spot in the Europa League, so they’ll be trying to limit the damage when they go to Manchester.
What To Know About Manchester City
City has 12 points, three points ahead of Shaktar Donetsk, as they won 4-2 at Napoli, getting goals from Nicolas Otamendi, John Stones, Sergio Aguero (who scored his 178th goal for Manchester City, which is now the club record) and Raheem Sterling. City has now scored 12 goals and allowed just three through the first four games of the Champions League, and combined with their play in England, where they lead the Premier League, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that Manchester City is the best team in Europe at this moment. Sterling and Stones lead the way with three goals each in the Champions League and Stones is a defender who is building City’s attack from the back. They usually try to get the ball to Kevin De Bruyne, who has three assists and is playing as well as anyone in Europe right now. David Silva is also in midfield and up front, City has Aguero, Sterling and Gabriel Jesus. This is the team that everyone thought they would be last season, and you have to consider Manchester City to be one of the favorites to win the Champions League for their first time.
Outlook
Manchester City is a massive -1600 favorite to win this match at home, while Feyenoord is rated at +2500 and a draw comes in at +1100. These two met for the first time in September and City made sure it was over quickly, scoring two goals in the first 10 minutes and three in the first 25 minutes of a 4-0 rout on the road. Stones scored a pair of goals, while Aguero and Jesus added singles for City, who are simply miles better and they could score even more goals at home against Feyenoord, who should be aiming to not get embarrassed. City should be trying to stay healthy and if they get out on top early like they did at Feyenoord, they’ll probably make some substitutions to keep their stars fresh and out of the physio room.
