Man City vs Feyenoord prediction and odds as Pep Guardiola seeks to end losing streak

Manchester City desperately need a win against Feyenoord to revive their UEFA Champions League journey and secure a place in the last 16. Despite being strong contenders for the European Cup this season, Pep Guardiola's men have stumbled, securing just two wins four games in the newly structured league stage and five consecutive defeats in all competitions.

The hosts are the favorites going into this match at 19/100 with CopyBet with visitors Feyenoord at 12/1 and a draw is 6/1. This will be the third time the two teams have met with the last two meetings coming in the 2017/18 group stage in which Guardiola led his side to 1-0 and 4-0 wins against the Eredivisie side.

Their campaign started with a lackluster 0-0 draw against Inter Milan at the Etihad Stadium, leaving many punters disappointed. City managed to regain some momentum with emphatic victories over Slovan Bratislava and Slavia Prague. However, their fortunes took a dramatic turn with a stunning 4-1 defeat at Sporting Lisbon. This result was part of an unprecedented run of four consecutive defeats for Guardiola, marking a first in his managerial career.

Pep Guardiola will be looking to make a huge improvement in front of goal after Erling Haaland and co failed to find the net in their heavy defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, despite plenty of chances to change the game.

“The chances are there, just like at Brighton, but it is what it is unfortunately. Of course we want a lot of players to score, but it has happened now,” he said. “I think we had the chances, clearly clear chances at 0-0, 0-1 and 0-2 – we were there – and when we score goals at the Etihad the momentum is there, but at the moment we are not solid enough.” .

“That's the truth. Normally we are solid and don't concede goals, but now we are not good enough on both sides.”

In an attempt to stabilize the situation, Guardiola extended his contract for two years, but this move did not immediately move his team. The team suffered another heavy blow with a 4-0 home defeat against Tottenham Hotspur.

These setbacks offer a glimmer of hope for Feyenoord, who have shown resilience after their own 4-0 home defeat to Bayer Leverkusen in their opening Champions League match. The Dutch team bounced back with wins over Girona and Benfica, but suffered another setback with a 3-1 home defeat to RB Salzburg in their most recent European match.
