Man City return to Champions League action on Tuesday, still licking their wounds following a humbling loss on the road against Sporting Lisbon.
The reigning Premier League champions will be heavily favored to bounce back to winning ways on Tuesday, but Feyenoord could boast the attacking quality to pose questions of a leaky City defense.
The Dutch side come into this round after winning two of their four matches in the Champions League. However, it could be noted that both of their wins have come on the road at Girona and Benfica.

City will be among the shortest priced selections in the Champions League this weekend, with a home win available at -575. An unlikely win on the road for Feyenoord is priced up at +1200.

Man City vs. Feyenoord Prediction
Feyenoord’s away form in the Champions League has been eye-catching to this point. However, this is a serious test of their credentials.
Man City’s form dipped before the international break, and even though they still have injury issues to contend with, we struggle to overlook the prospect of a dominant win for the English champions.
