Feyenoord vs Inter prediction: EUROPE: Champions League – Play Offs betting tips on match 2025-03-04 17:45.
[p]Feyenoord knocked out AC Milan 2-1 on aggregate in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) knockout play-offs to reach the last 16 of the European Cup/UCL for the first time in 50 years! The reward is a match against Inter Milan, a team they famously defeated en route to lifting the 2001/02 UEFA Cup. That was a debut season in the first team for Robin van Persie, who is now the head coach for the Rotterdammers, having started his Feyenoord managerial career with a goalless draw against NEC at the weekend.[/p]
[p]The Dutch club could become just the fourth side to beat both Milan clubs in the same UCL campaign after a 1-0 win over AC Milan at De Kuip in the first leg of the previous round. That was their third home win in a row in this competition, and given their strong home record in Europe against Italian clubs (W7, D4, L1), Feyenoord won’t mind facing the Serie A leaders.[/p]
[p]Inter drew 1-1 with Napoli on Saturday to maintain a slender one-point lead in Serie A, with the fixture pile-up from here set to test their challenge on three fronts. Simone Inzaghi’s men do bring a commanding run of just three losses across the last 23 UCL matches (W14, D6) to the Netherlands, while the Nerazzurri are unbeaten in their last 11 European games against Dutch clubs (W7, D4).[/p]
[p]Their defensive solidity has been remarkable as Inter have conceded just once in eight UCL matches this season (W6, D1, L1). That came in a 1-0 away loss at Bayer Leverkusen, and with no wins in their last three trips this season (D1, L2), where both defeats came without scoring, Inter’s dominant record against Dutch opposition could be under threat.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Igor PaixĂŁo has six goal contributions in the UCL this season (G2, A4) with both goals coming in home wins, including Feyenoord’s 1-0 win against AC Milan. Lautaro MartĂnez needs one more goal to become Inter’s all-time top scorer in the European Cup/UCL and has netted their last four goals in this competition, including a hat-trick against Monaco last matchday.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: The eventual winner was leading at half-time in eight of Feyenoord’s ten UCL games this season.[/p]
