Manchester City are reeling from a shocking 4-0 loss to Tottenham, their fifth consecutive defeat across all competitions. Pep Guardiola’s side, who have now dropped to 10th in the 36-team Champions League standings, face Feyenoord in a must-win game to restore some confidence. Despite their current form, City are still clear favorites at 1/5 to take all three points. However, their ongoing defensive struggles leave room for uncertainty, with Feyenoord coming into this match on a high after some solid performances in Europe.
1. Manchester City to Win to Nil (Odds: 6/4)
Although City have been conceding goals lately, they are still the more formidable team on paper. Guardiola’s men will want to avoid another slip-up, especially at home, and with Feyenoord struggling to keep up with elite European sides, a win to nil for City could be on the cards. If City can tighten up defensively, they should be able to shut out the Dutch side, who have only managed one goal in each of their last two away games in Europe.
2. City to Score in Both Halves (Odds: 5/6)
Despite their recent slump, Manchester City remain a potent attacking force, and their superior quality should see them break down Feyenoord across both halves. Guardiola will likely push for an early goal to settle nerves, and given the disparity in squad strength, City should also finish strong. With Feyenoord’s defense conceding 10 goals in their last four European games, backing City to find the net in both halves seems a solid bet.
3. Erling Haaland to Score First (Odds: 9/4)
Erling Haaland remains City’s main goal threat, and he will be eager to put the disappointment of recent results behind him. The Norwegian striker has shown time and time again that he can find the back of the net in the opening stages, and with Feyenoord’s defense looking shaky, Haaland is well-positioned to open the scoring. At 9/4, he represents great value to net first at the Etihad.
