Overview
Bayern Munich have a great chance to enter the top 8 of the Champions League when their opponents in the last two matches are only Feyenoord and Bratislava. If they can get good results in these two matches, the "Gray Tigers" can completely win a ticket directly to the knockout round.
Bayern Munich's confidence comes from their impressive form with a series of 5 consecutive wins recently, scoring 20 goals. The strength of the attack has also been clearly demonstrated by the Allianz Arena team in the Champions League. They have 17 goals after 6 matches, only behind Dortmund (18 goals) and Barcelona (21 goals).
On the other side of the front line, Feyenoord's attack also achieved good performance with 14 goals, equal to Atletico Madrid on the rankings. However, their biggest problem is the number of 15 goals conceded after only 6 matches. Therefore, Feyenoord currently has only 10 points.
In the domestic league, Feyenoord is also playing unstable when they do not know the taste of victory in the last 3 matches. They only got 1 draw against the weak team Willem II, the remaining 2 losses. This is not a good preparation for Feyenoord before welcoming Bayern Munich at the present time.
In terms of head-to-head record, the two teams have only met once before. That was in 2001, when Bayern Munich won 3-1 at home after a dramatic 2-2 draw at De Kuip.
Human resources situation
Feyenoord will be without defenders Quilindschy Hartman and Jordan Lotomba through injury, while Givairo Read is ineligible.
Santiago Jimenez will lead the Feyenoord attack with 7 goals in the last 8 matches.
On the other side of the front line, Bayern Munich do not have the service of midfielder Joao Palhinha, while Sacha Boey, Hiroki Ito and Daniel Peretz are also injured.
Expected lineup:
Feyenoord: Bijlow, Nieuwkoop, Trauner, Hancko, Smal, Timber, Hwang, Milambo, Moussa, Gimenez, Paixao.
Bayern Munich: Neuer, Laimer, Upamecano, Kim Min-jae, Davies, Kimmich, Goretzka, Olise, Musiala, Sane, Kane.
The match between Feyenoord and Bayern Munich takes place at 3:00 a.m. on January 23 (Vietnam time).
