Feyenoord Host Como at De Kuip With Key Injury Doubts

The result will shape early Champions League group standings as Feyenoord try to convert strong domestic form into European points.

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.
