Key Players to Watch
Igor Paixao (Feyenoord)
The Brazilian forward has lit up games for Feyenoord this season across various competitions. His form has trickled into his UCL performances as well, with Paixao contributing with 5GA. Four of these have been assists, which he has produced at just 1.19 xA, meaning he has heavily overperformed in this metric and will want to continue to do so.
Harry Kane (Bayern)
The Englishman has been the leading marksman for his team across competitions and has racked up 6GA in the Champions League as well. The breakdown for this is five goals and one assist. Kane’s five goals have come from 5.03 xG, meaning he will need to do slightly better to get ahead of the metric and perform at a high level.
Feyenoord vs Bayern Prediction
These two teams have never played each other before, hence there is little history to go by. However, Bayern have been in scintillating form of late and should secure an easy win against Feyenoord.
