Feyenoord vs. Atletico Madrid
Another one of the highly-anticipated matches on Tuesday features a Group E battle between table leaders Atletico Madrid (eight points) and third-place Feyenoord (six points). The Dutch squad can move past the visitors in the standings with a favorable result this afternoon. This contest is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. ET from De Kuip in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
Feyenoord has been exceptional at home recently, going unbeaten over its last 16 matches. Over the stretch, they’ve gone 14-2-0, including two UCL victories against Lazio (3-1) and Celtic (2-0). Once again, I will ride the trend here and back the Dutch side to collect three points. Rather than play them straight up on the three-way moneyline (+160), I’ll take Arne Slot’s men on the "Win, Draw No Bet." For those unfamiliar, if the match results in a draw, our bet is a push.
Ultimately, the Rotterdam club is in great form right now, going 6-0-2 in their last eight matches. They’ll host an Atletico squad that hasn’t been sharp on the road recently, going just 2-2-2 in their last six contests. Both of these teams have xGA marks of 4.5 through the first four matches, which are the best in Group E. Look for this to be a lower-scoring affair where the Dutch side either wins or at least collects a point in a tie.
Bet: Feyenoord To Win, Draw No Bet (-115)
