Barcelona vs Feyenoord prediction

THE FORECAST

Barcelona fights on its own Spanish soil in the Champions League and chases a sixth consecutive victory; despite only 3 days rest after a La Liga match, Flick has acquisitions such as Rodri and Adeyemi at his disposal with sufficient rotation depth to field a strong team. Feyenoord is impressively unbeaten in 14 matches, but the absence of no fewer than five defenders through injuries (Beelen, Bos, Nieuwkoop, Smal plus Nelson) is an extremely heavy handicap, especially against an attacking Barcelona. The moderate rainfall (20.7mm) and moderate temperatures pose no limiting factor for Barcelona's dominant possession-based style, while Feyenoord's pressing with a depleted defence runs extra risk.
