Feyenoord vs Sparta Prague Prediction 11.12.2024 | Champions League

• Competition: UEFA Champions League
• Date: Wednesday, 11st, December 2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
• Venue: De Kuip (Rotterdam)

Looking to stay in the hunt for advancement, Feyenoord will welcome Sparta Prague to De Kuip for the sixth matchday of the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night.

Despite falling to a devastating 1-3 loss to RB Salzburg at home in early November, Feyenoord quickly regained their confidence by mounting a stunning comeback, clawing back from three goals down to shock Manhester City with a spectacular 3-3 draw at the Etihad. Surprisingly, all seven of their points in this year's Champions League campaign have come from away matches, but the Club on the Meuse remains in a strong position to reach the playoff stage, as they hold a three-point cushion over PSG, who are the first team outside the advancing spots.

Initially dismissed as whipping boys, Sparta Prague silenced their doubters with stellar performances in their opening pair of matches, first demolishing RB Salzburg 3-0 in their opener before picking up a big point at the MHPArena with a 1-1 draw against Stuttgart. Sadly, the Maroons' dazzling Champions League start has quickly faded as they succumbed to setback in each of their previous three matches, causing them to be kicked out of the prized positions, though they are only two points away from moving back into the top 24.

Feyenoord vs Sparta Prague Betting Tips: OVER 2.5

The Wednesday's European clash at De Kuip guarantees a high-soring affair, as both teams will fiercely battle for the invaluable three points. Feyenoord's offensive firepower is undeniable, as they proven in their latest European outing by netting three times in a 14-minute span to frustrate the English champions with a 3-3 draw. The Rotterdam club's backline has proven vulnerable, as they continue to leak goals at an alarming rate, allowing concering three goals on average per match - totaling 13 goals in their first five games in the UCL.

Crushing defeats to Man City and Atletico Madrid, where they conceded a staggering 11 without reply, have made the defense of Sparta Prague one of the most porous in this year's Champions League edition. The Czech champions, however, will fancy their chances of tormenting Feyenoord's defense, drawing motivation from the fact that they’ve scored two or more goals against the Rotterdam club in each of their previus four head-to-head matches. Given the defensive vulnerabilities of both teams, we strongly believe that a goal fest is on the cards, but in the end, we expect Feyenoord to emerge victorious in what promises to be an efficient encounter.
