Manchester City vs Feyenoord Preview
- Date: Tuesday, November 26
- Kick-off Time: 8:00 pm GMT
- Venue: Etihad Stadium, Manchester, England
Manchester City and Feyenoord will come up against each other on matchday five of the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League. Both sides would have hoped for a better start in the first edition of the revised Champions League format. City has just seven points from four games and occupies the tenth spot. Feyenoord, on the other hand, has a point less than the English champions and is struggling in the 21st spot. The Manchester City vs Feyenoord contest should be a fascinating watch for the fans with neither of the two clubs in a position to drop any further points.
Manchester City are in an alien territory right now. For the first time in the Pep Guardiola era, the Mancunian club has suffered five defeats in a row. Tottenham Hotspur handed the reigning champions a 4-0 thrashing at the Etihad on Saturday. Several players are facing the heat for their underwhelming displays this season. City has already fallen off the pace in the Premier League and has remarkably recorded only two victories in the Champions League so far. The 2023 European Champions are facing an uphill task and will have to be at their best against Feyenoord. The fans have expressed their frustration and disappointment already.
Inconsistencies have marked the recent results of Feyenoord. In the last six games, the club has managed four victories to go with two defeats. Feyenoord is in the fourth spot in the Eredivisie. The Dutch outfit has some challenging upcoming Champions League fixtures and will be looking to take advantage of the poor form of Manchester City and take at least a point from Manchester.

Key Players to Watch in Manchester City vs Feyenoord
Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)
Kevin De Bruyne could only come off the bench during the defeat against Tottenham Hotspur. The Belgian’s services have been dearly missed by Pep Guardiola. The 33-year-old is still the most impactful player for the English champions and he will be required to be at his absolute best in the upcoming games.
Erling Haaland (Manchester City)
Erling Haaland’s lack of clinical touch in front of goal has been one of the major reasons for Manchester City’s underwhelming displays lately. Haaland is still the top goalscorer in the Premier League with 12 goals but is losing the margin of the lead to the likes of Chris Wood and Mohamed Salah. The Norwegian will require regular quality service from his teammates to make an impact against Feyenorod.
Manchester City vs Feyenoord Prediction
Despite the horrendous run of results, Manchester City will still commence the match as the favourites. Feyenoord, however, will feel that they have a decent enough chance of hurting the reigning Premier League champions.
Predicted Score: Manchester City 2-2 Feyenoord
