Feyenoord will welcome RB Salzburg to the Netherlands on Wednesday, 6 November as part of the fourth round of Champions League fixtures.
The hosts have started the Champions League campaign well, picking up six points from their first two matches and will see this match as a good opportunity to get to nine points.
RB Salzburg, meanwhile, are almost at must-win territory after picking up zero points from their first three Champions League fixtures this season.
How the bookies view it: The hosts go in as favourites
Given that Feyenoord are six points clear of RB Salzburg in the Champions League and the fact they are playing at home on Wednesday, it's no surprise that they go in pre-match favourites. Betfred have priced a home win at 4/7 while a victory for RB Salzburg has been priced at 9/2. The draw, which would at least get the visitors off the mark, has been priced at 10/3.
Recent head-to-head: A first competitive meeting
This is the first time that Feyenoord and RB Salzburg have met in a competitive fixture which adds a little more spice to the match. They have met in two friendlies in recent years, though, with RB Salzburg winning 3-1 in the summer of 2019 and Feyenoord winning 2-1 in the summer of 2022.
Players to watch: Brazilian magic to see Feyenoord through?
Feyenoord have an ace in their pack in the form of Brazilian forward, Igor Paixao, and he will be the man that RB Salzburg are most concerned about on Wednesday night. The 24-year-old forward has scored two goals and provided six assists in all competitions this season, making him the club's most creative player and efficient player.
In the Champions League, Paixao has played a key role in both of Feyenoord's victories. He registered two assists in their 3-1 win over Benfica while he registered another assist in their win over Girona in Spain. Paixao will now need to produce the goods on home turf, starting on Wednesday night.
Oscar Gloukh, meanwhile, will be the main dangerman for RB Salzburg. The Israeli playmaker has been in fine goalscoring form for the club so far this season, netting five times across all competitions. He returns from injury for this one but will need to get back up to speed quickly for the Austrian side are to take anything from the match.
Predicted line-ups
Feyenoord are without six first-team players for this one, including last season's top scorer Santiago Gimenez and this season's top scorer, Antoni Milambo. RB Salzburg have issues of their own with five players out injured and first-choice goalkeeper, Alexander Schlager, ruled out through suspension.
Feyenoord: Wellenreuther – Read, Beelen, Hancko, Bueno – Hwang, Zerrouki, Timber – Osman, Carranza, Paixao
RB Salzburg: Blaswich – Dedic, Piatkowski, Baidoo, Terzic – Diambou, Bidstrup, Clark – Daghim, Konate, Gloukh
Anything else catch the eye?
The over 2.5 goals market looks appealing here. All three of Feynoord's Champions League fixtures this season have produced three goals or more while the same can be said for two of Salzburg's three. Over 2.5 goals to be scored on Wednesday has been priced at 8/15 by Betfred.
