Feyenoord vs Bayern Munich prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – January 22, 2025
One of the matches of the 7th round of the general stage of the Champions League will take place on Wednesday in Rotterdam, where local Feyenoord will host Bayern Munich. I suggest betting on goals in this match with good chances of success.
Match preview
In the previous round, Brian Priske's team confidently defeated Prague's Sparta 4-2, showing they can compete at a high level. In this season's Champions League, Feyenoord has performed quite decently: with three wins, one draw, and only two losses, the team has earned 10 points and currently occupies the 18th spot in the standings.
The team has not yet secured a place in the playoffs but still has a chance to progress to the next stage, even in case of failure in the upcoming match. Feyenoord approaches the match against Bayern after a 1-1 away draw with Willem II in the Eredivisie. After 19 rounds, Feyenoord holds 4th place in the Eredivisie standings, trailing PSV by 10 points.
In the previous round, Bayern Munich confidently handled Shakhtar Donetsk, securing a 5-1 victory. This win marked the fourth for Vincent Kompany's side in this season's Champions League. However, Bayern has stumbled twice in the general stage, which has temporarily left them in 10th place in the standings.
Bayern retains excellent chances for direct qualification to the Round of 16, as they are only one point behind the nearest competitor in the top 8. Their attacking performance is particularly impressive: the team has scored 17 goals, second only to Borussia Dortmund (18) and Barcelona (21). Bayern's attacking power was also evident last weekend when they defeated Wolfsburg 3-2 at home in the Bundesliga.
Probable lineups
- Feyenoord: Timon Wellenreuther – Hugo Bueno, David Hancko, Gernot Trauner, Gijs Smal – Ramiz Zerrouki, Antoni Milambo – Igor Paixao, Calvin Stengs, Ibrahim Osman – Santiago Tomas Gimenez.
- Bayern Munich: Manuel Neuer – Alphonso Davies, Kim Min-Jae, Dayot Upamecano, Konrad Laimer – Leon Goretzka, Joshua Kimmich – Leroy Sane, Michael Olise, Kingsley Coman – Harry Kane.
Match facts and head-to-head
- The teams last met in autumn 2001, when Bayern secured a 3-1 home win and played out a 2-2 draw away.
- Bayern has won their last five matches across all competitions.
- The "Both teams to score" bet hit in Feyenoord's last three matches.
Prediction
Bookmakers give a clear advantage to the visitors, with Bayern's victory priced at 1.46. We believe the "Both teams to score" option at odds of 1.60 is likely to succeed in this encounter.
