Feyenoord will host Bayer in the first round of the Champions League on September 19. Will the Rotterdam team be able to get points in a confrontation with a more prestigious opponent, or will the "pharmacists" take all three points in a "boiling cauldron" with their class? In the betting tip, we have analyzed in detail the form in which the teams are approaching the face-to-face meeting and have chosen reliable bets. What will be the outcome?
Command Analysis
Feyenoord
NetherlandsCurrent form
Feyenoord performed quite well last season, but failed to defend their championship title. The Rotterdam team did not even fully participate in the championship race, being only formally the main pursuer of PSV throughout the tournament, which eventually secured the gold ahead of schedule, but managed to defend second place.
In the summer, Arne Slot moved to Liverpool and Feyenoord" target="_blank">https://www.feyenoord.com/">Feyenoord was headed by Brian Priske, who had distinguished himself in recent years at Antwerp and Sparta Prague. In the first official match under the new coach, the Rotterdam team won the trophy, beating PSV in the Dutch Super Cup in a penalty shootout.
However, this is where Feyenoord's successes in the current season end - they have managed to win only one of their four league matches. In the second round, the Rotterdammers thrashed Zwolle 5-1, but this has been their only strong match so far. With six points, Feyenoord is in a not very honourable seventh place and is already nine points behind the leader PSV - the championship race, like last season, may end before it even begins.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kilindshi Hartman and Calvin Stengs are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Feyenoord have only won one game in five matches this season
- Feyenoord have conceded in each of their five matches this season
- Feyenoord have not beaten Bayer in their last two matches - a draw and a defeat
Probable line-up : Wellenreuther - Lotomba, Bilen, Ganzko, Smal - Milambo, Nadje, Timber - Osman, Jimenez, Paixao.
Bayer Leverkusen
GermanyCurrent form
Bayer had an outstanding last season under Xabi Alonso. The pharmacists were not among the main contenders for the "salad bowl", but they moved very confidently and steadily towards their goal, having secured the Bundesliga title ahead of schedule, and then won the German Cup. Bayer had a chance to complete the treble, but in the Europa League final there was a 0:3 defeat to Atalanta.
Despite numerous rumors, Xabi Alonso has remained at Bayer" target="_blank">https://www.bayer04.de/">Bayer and the team will most likely face the highest goals again in the new season. Leverkusen started with a victory in the German Super Cup over Stuttgart - they managed to beat the Swabians only in a penalty shootout. In the Bundesliga, after a 3:2 victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach, the pharmacists lost in the second round with the same score to Leipzig.
The first defeat of the season apparently did not cause a crisis. On the eve of the trip to Rotterdam, Bayer thrashed Hoffenheim 4-1 away. The victory showed that Leverkusen is generally quite capable of fighting to retain the title, but the competition will clearly be tougher this season – Leipzig, Bayern and Borussia Dortmund are feeling very confident at the start.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ezequiel Palaciosa's participation in the match is in doubt
Interesting trends for betting
- Bayer have won three of their last four matches
- Bayer have kept a clean sheet in only one of their five matches this season
- Bayer have scored in all five matches this season
Estimated line-up : Hradecky – Tapsoba, Tha, Hincapie – Frimpong, Xhaka, Andrich, Grimaldo – Terrier, Wirtz – Boniface.

2.15Tip and bets
It is very important for Bayer to start the Champions League with a victory – the “pharmacists” are probably counting on finishing in the top eight and getting straight to the 1/8 finals. The German champion looks more than confident in attack and none of its opponents have managed to stay dry at the start of the season, it is unlikely that Feyenoord will break this streak, there are plenty of problems in defense.
At home, the Rotterdam team will probably play boldly, there are also very high-level players up front, there are no difficulties with scoring goals – the match will probably be bright and productive.
We believe that the match will be productive. Betting Tip - total over three goals . This outcome is offered with a coefficient of 1.75
Bet on the outcome
Bayer are generally in good shape, so far the "pharmacists" have suffered only one failure, which is unlikely to lead to serious consequences. It is obvious that the guests are favorites and will strive only for victory - Feyenoord is inferior in class to Leverkusen, at the start of the season the Rotterdam team is extremely unstable and even at the level of the national championship looks weak - Bayer should have no problems with victory.
Bet - Bayer win. This bet is offered for 1.71
Combined rate
Bayer are undoubtedly the favourites – Feyenoord do not look convincing even by the standards of the Eredivisie, in the Champions League the level of resistance is much higher. The “pharmacists” will certainly take three points and do it without any problems, but it will be almost impossible to beat the Rotterdam team on their field without scoring, Feyenoord plays boldly at home and has scored in the last 11 home matches.
The bet is Bayer win and both teams will score. This bet is offered for 2.90
