Overview
- The match is set for Wednesday at De Kuip and follows Feyenoord’s 2-0 Eredivisie win that came after their 5-1 defeat to Barcelona.
- Feyenoord have won three straight league games and top the domestic table but carry a patchy recent record in Europe, with just three wins in their last 13 continental fixtures.
- Goal.com and Dutch outlets published a predicted Feyenoord XI that largely repeats the side which beat AZ, with Tjark Ernst expected in goal and Nacho Ferri leading the attack.
- Como arrive after a 0-0 draw with Roma and could be without striker Moise Kean because of a leg injury sustained on international duty, with several other players omitted from their Champions League squad.
- Securing early group points matters because Como face Manchester United, Barcelona and PSG later in the group, so fitness and availability are likely to be decisive for both teams.
