Champions League, Tuesday, 26.11.2024 at 21:00
After the international break, it’s back to business in European soccer. No time to catch your breath for Manchester City and Feyenoord Rotterdam.
They face each other in the top flight on Tuesday evening and will be looking to turn things around after the two defeats they have both suffered.
In the table, this means: It’s 10th against 21st. Admittedly, a metric that I’ll have to get used to as well.
But be that as it may: important points are at stake and, for the Cityzens, it’s primarily about not losing two Champions League games in a row for the first time since 2018.
On the other hand, the Dutch side will arrive with a broad chest, even though they recently lost to Salzburg. They have won both of their away games so far.
In this respect, my Manchester City Feyenoord Rotterdam betting tip gives the visitors a slight underdog chance. However, it’s unlikely to be enough for a win.
The bookmaker’s forecast
It’s clear that when the Skyblues line up somewhere with their ensemble of superstars around Erling Haaland and Phil Foden, they are the clear favorites in the vast majority of cases.
This time too. Because in the predictions for a Manchester City Feyenoord Rotterdam betting tip, the roles are clearly distributed. If they win by at least three goals, the odds at Intertops sports betting are just over 2.20.
KI prediction Manchester City vs Feyenoord Rotterdam: ChatGPT
Artificial intelligence is on everyone’s lips and that’s why I don’t want to deprive you of ChatGPT’s AI prediction. I asked for three betting options with varying degrees of risk and had the AI analyze them.
First, we assume a win with an exact goal difference. If the Skyblues win with a goal difference, the odds are 4.40. According to ChatGPT, this is a high-risk prediction. At the moment, the hosts are simply a miracle bag.
Another prediction made by ChatGPT assumes that the Cityzens will win, but will also have to concede a goal. I definitely agree with this prediction. However, five consecutive defeats in competitive matches are no coincidence. I wouldn’t necessarily expect a home win.
According to the AI, a bet on the half-time and final score carries a much lower risk. For example, if the Skyblues take an early lead and slow things down in the second half, that’s enough.
Analysis: Manchester City vs Feyenoord Rotterdam
And why not? Even the recent defeat against Sporting (1:4) doesn’t change the dominance that the Skyblues exude.
But there is already a slight negative trend. They lost each of their four games before the international break. They have always had bad spells in the past few years
For the visitors, the main thing is to finally get some consistency in their own game. In the domestic league, they are chasing leaders PSV in the title race.
They have also often not looked good in the top flight. De club aan de Maas have lost five of their last seven CL matches. The two victories came away from home. Nevertheless,
Ratings analysis
However, even a draw would be considered a success for the footballers from the port city. Therefore, if you’re backing the visitors in the Manchester City Feyenoord Rotterdam betting tip, I advise you not to rush it.
In the double chance bets, you will find odds of just over 4.00 with Oddset bookmakers before kick-off if they take at least one point from the Etihad Stadium.
However, it is much more likely from the bookmakers’ point of view that it will be a one-sided affair. After all, the Sky Blues have won both of their previous meetings by the same scoreline.
If they manage to do so again, Tipwin’s bookies have a prediction of just under 2.00.
Manchester City in a crisis of form
The Cityzens will have to reinvent themselves a little. In the past few years, they have always had small periods of weakness as the year draws to a close.
In this respect, the current slump, which reached its lowest point for the time being with the 4-1 defeat against Sporting, is not a sensation. I didn’t drop my monocle into my tee in shock. The 4-0 defeat to Tottenham in the league was much more dramatic.
After all, many of their games went badly for them. In the Champions League, they are still the team with the most intense moments of pressing in the final third (56%).

Feyenoord’s young guns
After coach Brian Priske’s squad suffered a bitter 4-0 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen at the start of the CL season, fans were expecting the worst.
However, the victories over Girona and Benfica made them sit up and take notice. Antoni Milambo was particularly impressive. The 19-year-old scored three goals in three games.
He can be compared with the great Patrick Kluivert. In 1995/96, he was the last Dutch teenager to score more times in a top flight season (4).
When it comes to the head-to-head between Manchester City and Feyenoord, the pendulum is clearly swinging in favour of the hosts.
This is because the Sky Blues have won both of the two duels so far in the 2017/18 season in commanding fashion. The goal difference of 5:0 speaks just as clearly in their favor.
The home side have always done well against Dutch teams anyway. They have not lost any of their four home games on the European stage (3S, 1U).
On the other hand, De club aan de Maas have only won one of their ten previous encounters with teams from the island (1U, 8N). Both the win and the draw came in England.
My Manchester City Feyenoord Rotterdam betting tip:
In this respect, I would be cautious about giving the visitors too much of a chance. But I wouldn’t declare them cannon fodder either. They can certainly keep up at times.
As for the Skyblues, we’ll have to wait and see how they come out of the international break. Guardiola has a strong home record with them anyway. On average, they score 2.9 goals in CL home games.
Since I expect a high-scoring game, my Manchester City Feyenoord Rotterdam betting tip is: Both teams will score!
